    Author: Soo KC, Davidson TI, Selby P, Westbury G.
    Journal: Ann R Coll Surg Engl; 1985 Jul; 67(4):263-5. PubMed ID: 4037644.
    Abstract:
    To facilitate long-term venous access in patients receiving chemotherapy, a subcutaneous totally implantable system (Port-a-Cath, Phamacia) has been used in 14 patients. The method of implantation and the advantages over conventional central venous catheters are discussed. The expense of the system necessitates careful patient selection.
