Amongst mechanical complications, lesions of the catheter wall represent a rare but potentially severe condition. We report our experience with the accidental detection of catheter ruptures in a series of ports removed for complication or for end of use. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p> All ports removed from January 2011 to June 2013 were considered. All removed ports had been inserted according to a standardized protocol including ultrasound-guided percutaneous venipuncture (out-of-plane or in-plane approaches) and electrocardiogram-guided positioning of the tip. Once removed, each catheter was checked by inspection and saline instillation in order to evaluate the integrity of the device itself and rule out possible ruptures. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p> In over 338 removed ports, 12 Groshong catheters out of 65 (18.5%) had evidence of partial rupture of the catheter wall. Amongst considered variables, \u201cout-of-plane\u201d approach and type of port (silicon, closed tip with Groshong valve) were the only ones significantly associated with catheter ruptures (p=0.0003 and 0.0008, respectively). We could detect no evidence of rupture in any silicon open-ended catheter (Celsite ports) or in any catheter inserted by \u201cin-plane\u201d approach to the vein. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p> The actual advantage of using port connected with Groshong silicon catheters should be questioned, since apparently they are more fragile than standard catheters. Furthermore, ultrasound-guided \u201cout-of-plane\u201d puncture of the internal jugular vein should be discouraged. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.5301\/jva.5000261","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,21]],"date-time":"2014-07-21T09:53:48Z","timestamp":1405936428000},"page":"391-395","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Fractures of Totally Implantable Central venous Ports: More than Fortuity.
