چکیده

This study aims to investigate the causes of catheter fracture and handling measures for implantable vascular access devices to prevent catheter fracture. We retrospectively examined 3088 adult patients with catheter fracture/disruption caused by totally implantable vascular access devices (TIVDs). In the 3088 cases, implantation was via the internal jugular vein in 2909 cases and the subclavian vein in 179 cases. Catheter fracture/disruption occurred in 13 patients (0.42%). In 7 cases in which implantation was via the internal jugular vein (left side, n = 4 and right side, n = 3), the incidence of catheter fracture/disruption was 0.24% (7/2909). Four patients had catheter fracture, and 3 patients had catheter disruption. Among those with subclavian venipuncture, 6 patients had catheter fracture/disruption, with an incidence rate of 3.35% (6/179), including 4 cases of implantation via the left side and 2 cases of implantation via the right side. The incidence of catheter fracture/disruption in the internal jugular venipuncture was significantly lower than that in the subclavian venipuncture (χ2 = 38.938, P = 0.000). All of the cases of catheter fracture/rupture were treated safely, without any deaths in all the patient groups. Acutenes activity, body shape, improper operation, catheter material, and special anatomical structure are the causes of catheter fracture/disruption. Performing the appropriate surgical method and informing patients to avoid strenuous activities could reduce the incidence of catheter fracture/disruption.

Fracture and intra-cardiac embolisation of a totally implantable vascular access device.

Totally implantable vascular access devices (TIVADs) provide a semi-permanent route for administering intravenous medication in patients who receive repeated courses. They are relatively easy to look after and cosmetically acceptable, but may be associated with complications [1] . A 17-year-old male with cystic fibrosis while undertaking a course of home antibiotics for a pulmonary exacerbation...

Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator in a patient with dextrocardia situs inversus

Background: Dextrocardia is a congenital anomaly, which may have coexistent coronary artery disease (CAD), arrhythmias and conventional indications for device therapy. However, the implantation of transvenous leads can be technically challenging and the approach needs to be tailored to the patient's individual anatomy. Case presentation: A 54-year-old male with dextrocardia situs inversus and i...

The Impact of Intraluminal Vancomycin Adminstration on Prevention of Hemodialysis CatheterRelated Infections

Introduction: Percutaneously inserted double-lumen central venous hemodialysis catheters provide the nephrologist with an excellent temporary access for an immediate hemodialysis treatment and preserve the peripheral veins for the future creation of a permanent arteriovenous vascular access. Unfortunately catheterrelated infections are usually common. In this study, the impact of intra luminal ...
