Catheter Fracture of a Totally Implantable Venous Device Due to Pinch Off Syndrome in Breast Cancer: A Case Report
نویسنده
چکیده
Totally implantable venous devices (TIVDs) are now frequently used for the administration of chemotherapy, prolonged intravenous infusion and blood aspiration without repeated venosection in cancer patients. However, the placement of TIVDs using classical subclavian vein puncture method is associated with several complications, such as infection, thrombosis, superior vena cava syndrome, cardiac arrhythmia and air embolism. A rare but serious complication is catheter fracture. We represent here a case of spontaneous catheter fracture and resolved by percutaneous endovascular retrieval.
