What Is a Port Catheter?
A port catheter device that is implanted just under the skin. It allows for easy access for the delivery of intravenous fluids or medication. It is primarily used by cancer patients for chemotherapy and other cancer-related medication.
Some medical professionals use the term BardPort when discussing this device. It also comes in a smaller version, called the SlimPort, to accommodate patients with narrow veins.
Port Catheter Complications
Many patients that were implanted with a port catheter have suffered major illnesses. It is believed that these illnesses were due to a design flaw in the BardPort. Some patients have had their catheters degrade, which can lead to the device injecting, fracturing, and migrating inside a person’s body.
When a port catheter injects, fractures, or migrates, it can lead to numerous health issue, such as:
- Infections
- Sepsis
- Blood Clots
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
- Vascular Damage
- Cardiac Arrhythmia
- Pulmonary Embolism
In extreme cases, defective port catheters have been linked to wrongful death. If you’ve been injured or lost a loved one due to a faulty port catheter then contact Patterson Legal Group to discuss your port catheter lawsuit.
