BACKGROUND: Chemoport is an essential part of the management of children with
cancer and provides long-term venous access. There are few studies from resource
poor countries reporting complications of chemoport. AIMS: This study was aimed
at describing the complications of chemoport in patients with cancer. MATERIALS
AND METHODS: This retrospective observational study analyzed 200 patients <15
years of age who underwent chemoport insertion. The medical records of these
patients were reviewed for the patient characteristics, diagnosis, nature of port
use, port-related complications and their management. RESULTS: A total of 209
ports were implanted in 200 patients and 24 ports were removed due to
port-related complications. There were 122 boys and 78 girls whose ages ranged
from 4 months to 13 years (median age 2.5 years). About72% of patients were <2
years old. The cumulative duration of catheterization was 54,100 days. Of 209
ports, there were 36 complications that led to the removal of 21 ports.
Port-related infection was the most common infection observed in our study
(0.66/1000 catheter days and 11.9%). Mechanical complications were seen in 9
patients. Venous thrombosis and skin necrosis occurred in one patient each.
CONCLUSIONS: Use of chemoport is safe and is a boon for children with cancer in
developing countries with incidence of complications similar to Western
countries. Although use of chemoport is associated with complications, they are
easily managed. With stringent catheter care by trained personnel, some
complications can be prevented.
