Official Title: Accuracy and Clinical Applicability of a Chest X-Ray-Based External Measurement Method for Optimal Catheter Tip Positioning in Totally Implantable Venous Access Port Placement

Brief Summary: Totally implantable venous access ports (TIVAPs) are commonly used in patients who need long-term intravenous treatment such as chemotherapy, parenteral nutrition, or repeated blood sampling. Correct placement of the catheter tip is important to reduce the risk of complications, including arrhythmia, thrombosis, catheter dysfunction, vessel injury, and infection.Several methods are used to determine catheter tip position during port placement, including fluoroscopy, echocardiography, and chest X-ray. However, some…
