Totally implantable venous access ports: A prospective randomized study comparing subclavian and internal jugular vein punctures in children

Prospective randomized study of 415 pediatric patients demonstrates that subclavian vein access for TIVAP implantation results in significantly lower venous occlusion rates (1.5% vs 5%) and higher patient/guardian satisfaction scores compared to internal jugular approach, supporting subclavian vein as preferred site.
