A continuously growing spectrum of cytostatic preparations used to treat oncological patients, as well as a growing spectrum of indications to treat patients with disseminated or locally advanced findings even in the elderly patients, brings on a subject of long-term venous portae problems to solve. The venous port is a smart solution of this problem. The method minimalizes risks resulting from long-term canylations of the central venous system and, primarily, substantially improves comfort of patients. This argument takes in consideration not only periods between chemotherapy applications, but also administration of the cytostatic preparation itself. The following article summarizes long-term experience with port implantations in the MOU. It points out increasing rates of patients with implanted ports and highlights frequency rates of observed complications connected with both the port implantation and the port use.
Key words: venous port – intravenous chemotherapy – Huber’s needle
