1. Review venous anatomy relevant to proper port placement 2. Describe patient-related and port placement technique-related risk factors for postprocedural port complications. 3. Discuss port-related postprocedural complications and their management.  

1) Central venous anatomy relevant to proper port placement 2) Proper port placement technique with emphasis on patient-related and port placement technique-related reisk factors for postprocedural port complications 3) Postprocedudural port complications and their management - infectious (port site infection, catheter-related blood stream infection) - mechanical (catheter migration/kink/fracture, catheter fragment embolization, Twiddler's syndrome, etc.) - thrombotic (fibrin sheath formation, venous stenotic/thrombotic) 4) Diagnostic algorithm for malfunctioning ports 5) Conclusions
