OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to review the results of radiologically placed subcutaneous venous access ports in a pediatric population requiring long-term venous access. CONCLUSION: Sixteen of 20 patients had no significant problems with their ports. In the pediatric population, radiologically placed subcutaneous venous access ports offer a high success rate, a low complication rate, and significant cost savings over surgically placed ports.
