Introduction: Subcutaneous port catheter implantation is a procedure that has shown benefits for patients requiring chemotherapy. Over time, this procedure has become more and more frequent in the hands of the interventional radiologist. Objective: To review the incidence of complications of the implantation of catheters with subcutaneous reservoir for chemotherapy by interventional
radiology in our institution. Methods: A retrospective review of the electronic records was carried out in a period of 31 months from the start of the procedure in our institution to assess the incidence of complications. Results: Between March 2019 and September 2021, a total of 377 hemotherapy catheters were implanted, a procedure carried out in the fluoroscopy suite under local anesthesia,
except for one that was performed in the operating room under general anesthesia. The incidence of complications was relatively low, reaching 8.2%, and the spectrum of complications included pneumothorax, suture dehiscence, infection, port rotation and port extrusion. Conclusion: Our
results indicate that central catheters with subcutaneous port can be implanted safely in the fluoroscopy suite under local anesthesia by the interventional radiologist under ultrasonographic and fluoroscopic guidance.
