“…There is an increased risk of pneumothorax in patients who have a severe emphysema, bullous lung and acute respiratory distress syndrome. A "pinch off syndrome" may occur in ports placed through the subclavian vein secondary to the pinching of the port catheter between the clavicle and first rib leading to catheter fracture [14,16]. The catheter was broken in one patient and migrated to the right ventricle (0.7%).…”

“…Landmark-mark based punctures of the subclavian vein in particular were associated with increased rates of pneumothorax (11,(13)(14)(15)(16)(17). In addition, infection rates were lower for ultrasound-guided approaches with the Seldinger technique (1.1-8.8%) (3,11,13,18,19) compared with surgical cut-down (0.8-16.3%) (10,(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25). Moreover, the radiological technique does not require general anesthesia and is cost effective (26).…”

“…[11,12] Bizim çalışmamızda erken dönemde (ilk 1 hafta içinde) hiçbir hastada infeksiyon gelişmezken, geç dönem-de (26. haftada) sadece bir hastada cep infeksiyonu gelişti ve port kateter çıkarıldı. Erken dönemde çok düşük (sıfıra yakın) olan infeksiyon oranında girişimin tamamen steril koşullar sağlanmış kalp-damar cerrahisi ameliyathanelerinde yapılmasının etkili olduğu düşünüldü.…”
