Totally implantable venous power ports of the forearm and the chest: initial clinical experience with port devices approved for high-pressure injections

Abstract

TIVPPs can be implanted with high technical success rates, and are associated with low rates of complications if implanted with sonographic and fluoroscopic guidance. Power injections via TIVPPs are safe and result in satisfying arterial contrast. Conventional ports should be replaced by TIVPPs.
