Intraoperative complications
- Pneumothorax by malpuncture with aspiration of air indicating lung injury→ radiographic and clinical follow-up, with the surgeon staying at the patient’s side; possibly chest tube insertion (depending on the clinical situation).
- Intraoperative air embolism → attempted aspiration of the air (possibly) via the catheter in situ. Otherwise no specific treatment possible.
- Port tubing cannot be inserted below the clavicle → predilate by inserting a bigger dilation catheter
- Arterial malpuncture → steady local compression for at least 5 minutes
- Port catheter cannot be advanced → fluoroscopic imaging while administering contrast agent via the indwelling needle, followed by advancing the guidewire.
- Unsuccessful puncture → termination of operation. Option: Implantation of a TIVAD via the cephalic vein.
