Zusammenfassung:The application of totally implantable access ports (TIAPs) reduces treatment-related discomfort; however, the existence of catheter may cause side effects, with the most common one being the occurrence of TIAPs-associated thrombosis. The risk factors for TIAPs-associated thrombosis in pediatric oncology patients have not been fully described. A total of 587 pediatric oncology patients undergoing TIAPs implantation at a single center over a 5-year period were retrospectively analyzed in the present study. We investigated the risk factors for thrombosis, emphasizing the internal jugular vein distance, by measuring the vertical distance from the highest point of the catheter to the upper border of the left and right extremitas sternalis claviculae on chest X-ray images. Among 587 patients, 143 (24.4%) had thrombosis. Platelet count, C-reactive protein, and the vertical distance from the highest point of the catheter to the upper border of the left and right extremitas sternalis claviculae were demonstrated to be the main risk factors for the development of TIAPs-associated thrombosis. TIAPs-associated thrombosis, especially asymptomatic events, is common in pediatric cancer patients. The vertical distance from the highest point of the catheter to the upper border of the left and right extremitas sternalis claviculae was a risk factor for TIAPs-associated thrombosis, which deserved additional attention.
