Abstract
Implementation of the algorithm was associated with significantly less frequent repeat procedures on the same port and a lower frequency of malfunctioning ports remaining in place. Use of the algorithm was associated with significantly reduced time from consultation to revision and to return to usability. These findings suggest the algorithm allows triage of patients with malfunctioning ports to the appropriate intervention before undergoing a procedure.
