AIM:To assess the catheterization-associated complicationsduring intraperitoneal chemotherapy (IPCT) for advancedgastric cancer.METHODS:From 1998 to 2002,80 patients with advancedgastric cancer received a total of 320 courses of IPCT usinga large bore central venous catheter and associatedcomplications were analyzed.RESULTS:Catheterization-associated complicationsoccurred in 11 of the 80 patients (13.8%),including abdominalpain caused by catheter in 2 cases (0.63%),insertion failurein 2 cases (0.63%),bowel perforation in 1 case (0.31%)and abdominal pain during chemotherapy in 6 cases (1.88%).No serious complications required surgical intervention.CONCLUSION:IPCT using central venous catheters canbe performed safely and simply without severe associatedcomplications.
