Ultrasound-guided Subclavian Vein Puncture Versus Cephalic Vein Dissection for Venous Access Port Implantation

October 22, 2018 updated by: Nicolas DEMARTINES, University of Lausanne Hospitals

Ultrasound-guided Subclavian Vein Puncture Versus Cephalic Vein Dissection for Totally Implantable Venous Access Port Implementation: a Single-center Controlled Randomized Superiority Trial

The purpose of this study is to compare two different surgical techniques for implementation of totally implantable central venous access ports. Ultrasound-guided suclavian vein puncture is compared to cephalic vein dissection.
