Overview

Substantial VTE risk after CVP insertion in cancer patients warrants caution; leaves open whether targeted prophylaxis in high Khorana or lung cancer subgroups improves outcomes.

Structured PICO

What is the incidence and what are the predictors of venous thromboembolic events associated with central venous port insertion in cancer patients?

P
Population
1097 consecutive cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy with first central venous port (CVP) implantation
I
Intervention
Central venous port (CVP) implantation
O
Outcome
Incidence of catheter-related VTE (deep venous thrombosis in the arm, with or without pulmonary embolism, or isolated PE) at 3 and 12 monthshard clinical

Central venous port insertion in cancer patients carries a significant risk of VTE, with high Khorana risk score and lung cancer identifying a high-risk subgroup that may benefit from targeted thromboprophylaxis.
