Deltoid Branch of Thoracoacromial Vein A Safe Alternative Entry Vessel for Intravenous Port Implantation

摘要

An entry vessel is crucial for intravenous port implantation. A safe alternative entry vessel that can be easily explored is crucial for patients without feasible cephalic vein or for those who need port reimplantation because of disease relapse. In this study, we tried to analyze the safety and feasibility of catheter implantation via the deltoid branch of the thoracoacromial vein.
