To systematically review the literature on procedure-and device-related complications associated with ITB infusion therapy for adult muscle hypertonia of spinal or cerebral origin. Methods. The authors searched the PubMed database for full-length articles published in English that reported ITB-associated complications in adults. Of 147 articles retrieved, 32 full-length manuscripts and 10 case reports were reviewed in detail. Results. Overall, 558 complications were reported after 1362 pump implants (0.41 per implant). Methods for characterizing complications varied greatly between studies, as did complication rates, ranging from 0 to 2.24 per implant. Of the 558 complications, 148 (27%) were related to surgical procedures, 39 (7%) to pump problems, and 369 (66%) to catheter malfunctions. The overall complication rate was higher for studies th"@en . . . "V" . "1545-9683" . "Stokic, D. S." . . . . . . "[68C1484602D6]" . "US - Spojen\u00E9 st\u00E1ty americk\u00E9" .
