Abstract: 【Abstract】 Objective〓To summarize up the effect of totally implantable venous access ports (TIVAP) implanted via internal jugular vein on chemotherapy for breast cancers. Methods〓A retrospective review was conducted on 96 patients undergoing a TIVAP implantation for breast cancer chemotherapy at our hospital from June 2013 to December 2015. Surgical and long-term complications were analyzed. Results〓All TIVAPs were implanted successfully. There were one case of cardiac arrhythmia, one case of hematoma, two case of pneumothorax, two cases of catheter occlusion, three case of catheter-related infection and one case of catheter rupture. The patients were followed up for a median of 15 months (4-30 months). TIVAP worked well without leakage, pneumothorax, infection, or pinch-off syndrome. Conclusion〓Implanting totally implantable venous access port via the internal jugular vein is feasible and safe in patients with breast cancer.
