Abstract

The study aimed to conduct a survey of scientific literature about the complications with the use of totally
implantable catheters-TIC, considering its importance in the treatment of cancer patients. The selection was made through
manual and electronic search of articles published from 1998 to March 2008. Finally, 12 articles were selected to compose
this integrative review. The main results found were that, there is little involvement of nurses in the scientific production
about the theme; 11 articles showed their objectives, results and conclusion in a well-structured form; seven articles used
retrospective method, four used prospective method and one used both methods. Among the most common complications,
there may be highlighted, in decreasing order, infection, thrombosis, obstruction, haematoma, inappropriate placement,
bacteremia, extravasation, pneumothorax. The analyzed articles showed satisfactory results on the use of TIC, and it
may be concluded that its use in oncological patients presents low index of complications.
