Hypothesis
Is the modified Seldinger Technique more effective than the conventional Venae Sectio for implanting Totally Implantable Access Ports?
Conclusion
The study aims to determine which implantation technique has a higher success rate and fewer complications.
Supporting Evidence
- The study will include 160 patients randomized intra-operatively.
- Success rates of TIAP implantation techniques will be compared.
- Primary endpoint is the success rate of the randomized technique.
Takeaway
This study is trying to find out which way of putting in a special medical port is better and safer for patients.
Methodology
A single-centre, randomized, controlled superiority trial comparing two TIAP implantation techniques.
Potential Biases
Potential biases in randomization and treatment allocation.
Limitations
The study is limited to a single center and may not be generalizable to all patient populations.
Participant Demographics
Patients aged 18 and older scheduled for primary elective TIAP implantation.
