Abstract
GUERIOS, Simone D; SILVA, Daniella M; SOUZA, Carlos HM and BACON, Nicholas J. Surgical placement and management of jugular vascular access ports in dogs and cats: description of technique. Rev Colom Cienc Pecua [online]. 2015, vol.28, n.3, pp.265-271. ISSN 0120-0690. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.rccp.v28n3a7.
Background: vascular access ports (VAPs) are designed to allow repeated access to the vascular system with minimum patient distress. Objective: to describe the surgical technique, care and complications of jugular VAPs currently used at the Veterinary Oncology Service of the University of Florida Small Animal Hospital. Conclusion: the VAPs can remain in site for long terms (months) with minimum complications, and its placement is a reliable technique that should be considered by veterinarians, particularly for a longterm treatment.
