Objective: Implantable Venous Port Catheters are frequently used in cancer patients on whom long term intravenous treatment will be applied. In literature, this process was undertaken by oncologists, radiologists and surgeons. The objective of this study is to review venous port catheters implanted by anesthesiologists and their results.

Materials and Methods: 83 implantable venous ports, which were implanted in 79 patients between January, 2008 and March, 2010 in our clinic, have been examined retrospectively. Demographic data, port days and port types of the patients were recorded. Anaesthetic method applied during the process, localization of the intervention, problems with the intervention, the technique used, complications associated with the port which took place during the intervention and the reasons for their removal were noted.

Results: The mean age of the patients was 53,5±11,72 year and 44 patients were female and 35 were male. Total number of port days was 26.397. As complications associated with the intervention, pneumothorax developed in one patient and malposition in 4 patients. In cases where port catheter malposition developed, it was seen that the intervention wasn't applied along with fluoroscopy. Following the intervention, malfunction was detected in 4 patients, catheter dislocation in 1 patient and suspected infection in 1 patient and skin necrosis in 1 patient.

Conclusion: In order to show that Anesthesiologists, who perform central venous catheterization during routine and know the possible complications and their management methods, can also perform venous port implantation, we wanted to share our series.
