Catheter; Complications (Indwelling Catheter) Clinical Trial
Official title:
Maintaining Patency in BioFlo Implanted Port Catheters With Saline Only Flushes
The purpose of this study is to determine the safest and most effective flushing solution for maintaining patency (unobstructed flow) in BioFlo implanted port catheters. The complication rate in patients whose ports are flushed with saline only will be compared to the complication rate in patients whose ports are flushed with a combination of saline and heparinized saline.

The complication rate in patients whose ports are flushed with saline only will be compared to the complication rate in patients whose ports are flushed with a combination of saline and heparinized saline. These complications include partial or complete obstruction, infection of the central line, and/or the onset of heparin induced thrombocytopenia. ;
