  • Title: Subclavian vein stenosis following totally implantable venous access device (TIVAD) implant by percutaneous approach. Case report.
    Author: Di Carlo I, Fasone MA, Toro A, Castello G, Sparatore F, Cordio S.
    Journal: G Chir; 2004; 25(11-12):417-9. PubMed ID: 15803820.
    Abstract:
    Totally implantable venous access devices (TIVADs) are more and more used in oncologic patients. Early and late complications frequently occur with the techniques of implantation. Thrombosis is the most important and common late complication. On the opposite stenosis of the vessel is not frequently reported. The Authors report the case of a patient with subclavian vein stenosis after implantation of a TIVAD by percutaneous technique. On the basis of the published knowledges they try to explain this phenomenon and suggest an hypothesis for future works.
