The Device Dilemma: Impact of Implanted Ports in Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation [Poster Title]
Abstract
Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT) is a treatment modality employed for many types of hematologic malignancies and some autoimmune disorders. Several types of access devices can be used for HCT including implanted ports, tunneled, and non-tunneled central catheters. Assumptions exist, however, that implanted ports may lead to higher rates of infection and impede engraftment. The aim of this study was to explore the use of an implantable port during HCT, potential complications associated with port presence and use, and success of engraftment when using the port to infuse stem cells.
