Risk factors assessment for radiographically guided port implantations with forearm access

<h4>Introduction</h4> Port implantations at the forearm are associated with an increased risk of relevant vein thrombosis. Therefore, with this study we sought to identify the responsible risk factors to improve technical quality of the method. <h4>Methods</h4> This is a retr...
