Broviac central venous catheters were placed in twenty patients who required long-term intravenous antibiotics for the treatment of osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, or an infected total joint arthroplasty. As a group, the twenty patients completed a total of 1,131 days with the catheter in place. There was only one catheter-related complication: extrusion of the Dacron cuff after removal of the catheter. Six antibiotic-related complications occurred, all of which resolved when the antibiotic was changed. No patient had sepsis related to use of the catheter, breakage of the catheter, or thrombosis. Twelve patients had part of their antibiotic treatment on an outpatient basis.
为治疗骨髓炎、脓毒性关节炎或感染性全关节置换术，为20名需要长期静脉注射抗生素的患者置入了 Broviac 中心静脉导管。这20名患者作为一个群体，导管在位的总天数达1131天。仅发生了1例与导管相关的并发症：导管拔除后涤纶套脱出。发生了6例与抗生素相关的并发症，在更换抗生素后均得到解决。没有患者发生与导管使用、导管断裂或血栓形成相关的败血症。12名患者部分抗生素治疗是在门诊进行的。
