Port removals are often a time for celebration for patients as well as providers, signaling the end of a trial of chemotherapy, for example. This does not mean, however, that they occur without complications. Ports can become infected or become encapsulated in granulation tissue, causing difficulty for the interventional radiologist attempting to remove them. Dr. Christopher Beck and Dr. Aaron Fritts share their strategies for managing problem port removals, what to do in the case of infection, and how to manage port removal patients post-procedure: https://ow.ly/OGft50Szh66 Stream the full episode: https://lnkd.in/exaVk5TW #VI396 #PortPlacement #PortRemoval #Oncology #CancerCare #Chemotherapy #MinimallyInvasive #InterventionalRadiology
