Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the safest and most effective flushing solution for maintaining patency (unobstructed flow) in BioFlo implanted port catheters. The complication rate in patients whose ports are flushed with saline only will be compared to the complication rate in patients whose ports are flushed with a combination of saline and heparinized saline.

Primary Outcome

Number of Participants with Occurrence of First Complete Occlusion (Blockage) over the 1 year. The date of the first complete occlusion will be recorded.

Interventions

  • OTHER Heparinized saline catheter flush
  • DRUG Saline-only catheter flush
