Article Synopsis
- This study compares two methods for implanting implantable venous access ports (IVAPs) in breast cancer patients, focusing on patient comfort, surgery duration, and complications.
- Results show that the Axillary vein/Subclavian vein (AxV/SCV) approach provides significantly better patient comfort and shorter surgery time compared to the Internal jugular vein (IJV) method.
- However, the AxV/SCV approach is associated with a higher risk of early complications, particularly catheter misplacement, while both methods overall have a low risk of complications.
Background: Internal jugular vein (IJV) and axillary vein/subclavian vein (AxV/SCV) are commonly used for implantable venous access port (IVAP) implantation in breast cancer (BC) patients with chemotherapy. Previous studies focused on complications between these different approaches and ignored patient comfort. In this study, we aim to compare patient comfort between IJV and AxV/SCV approaches, as well as surgery duration and complications.
