Summary
This report details an unusual case of a femoral central venous port (FICC PORT) placement. Modern techniques were used for this alternative venous access device when other ports were contraindicated.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Interventional Radiology
- Medical Device Technology
Background:
- Totally implanted intravenous ports are crucial for long-term therapies requiring central venous access.
- Traditional port placements include chest wall (CHEST PORT) and arm (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter - PICC PORT) devices.
- Femoral central venous ports (FICC PORT) offer an alternative when chest or arm placements are contraindicated.
Observation:
- The study presents a unique case of FICC PORT implantation.
- This case utilized the latest advancements in surgical techniques and catheter tip localization.
- The femoral vein was accessed for port placement due to contraindications for traditional sites.
Findings:
- Successful implantation of a FICC PORT was achieved.
- The procedure employed contemporary methods for accurate device placement and confirmation.
- This demonstrates the feasibility of FICC PORTs in specific patient populations.
Implications:
- FICC PORTs represent a viable alternative venous access solution.
- Advanced implantation techniques enhance the safety and efficacy of FICC PORTs.
- This case expands the understanding of central venous port options for complex patients.

Fluorescence in situ hybridization, or FISH, was developed in the early 1980s and has quickly become one of the most widely used techniques in cytogenetics. Labeled probes are used to bind complementary DNA or RNA sequences on a chromosome or in a region within a cell. Earlier, the probes could only be obtained by cloning or reverse transcription of a DNA template. Currently, the probe oligonucleotides can be synthesized synthetically. Additionally, with the advancement of optical techniques,...
