Catheter Tip Migration in Female Patients With Breast Cancer: A Retrospective Comparative Study of Right- and Left-Sided Chest Ports

Conclusion: When assessing chest port catheter tip position between supine and erect radiographic studies in female patients with breast cancer, retraction cephalad will occur and this is more apparent in right-sided ports. Change in catheter tip position was not associated with a significant increa...

description Conclusion: When assessing chest port catheter tip position between supine and erect radiographic studies in female patients with breast cancer, retraction cephalad will occur and this is more apparent in right-sided ports. Change in catheter tip position was not associated with a significant increase in complication rate unless it occurred in left-sided ports where zone migration was evident.
