A new implantable venous access system using the Cath-finder and P.A.S. Port offers a lower-cost, less complicated, and time-saving solution for chronic venous access in diverse patient populations.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Medical Devices
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Chronic venous access is crucial for long-term therapies.
  • Existing methods can be costly and invasive.
  • Minimally invasive, cost-effective solutions are needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of the Cath-finder and implantable P.A.S. Port system for chronic venous access.
  • To assess the system's cost-effectiveness, complication rates, and ease of maintenance.
  • To determine the system's applicability across various patient groups.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Cath-finder system for accurate central venous access without fluoroscopy.
  • Employed the implantable P.A.S. Port for chronic venous access.
