Abstract:
Authors analyzed clinical aspects of central venous lines in children with cancer. In 25 patients central venous catheters with subcutaneous ports and in 34 patients lines with external ending were inserted. Catheters were left in place respectively 62-836 days and 4-365 days. During that time 10 catheters were removed due to occlusion, leakage, local infection or sepsis. The causes of these complications were analyzed in discussion.
