Zusammenfassung

Implantierte Portkatheter stellen ein wertvolles Hilfsmittel in der Behandlung onkologischer Patienten dar. Leider sind sie mit nicht zu unterschätzenden Risiken und Komplikationen wie Infektion, Thrombose, Embolie, Okklusion oder Dislokation verbunden. Nur das Wissen um mögliche Komplikationen und ein sachgerechter Umgang kann das mit diesen Portkathetersystemen zusammenhängende Risiko minimieren.

Summary

Implanted port catheters are an effective and very helpful tool in the management of cancer patients. This usage of these catheter systems is associated with minor, but definite risks like port occlusion, dislocation, thrombosis, embolism and infection. Careful management and care of these devices as well as a perfect knowledge of possible complications is the basis for an effective risk reduction.
