Is ultrasound guidance necessary to avoid complications in the implantation of venous access ports?

CONCLUSION: The risk of developing complications was not affected by patient's age or sex.

It may be concluded from the study that early complications in particular can be reduced with ultrasound-guided implantation.PMID:38506386 | PMC:PMC10977494 | DOI:10.14744/tjtes.2024.58665
