Spontaneously Migrated Tip of an Implantable Port Catheter into the Axillary Vein in a Patient with Severe Cough and the Subsequent Intervention to Reposition It
نویسندگان
چکیده
Migration of an implantable port catheter tip is one of the well-known complications of this procedure, but the etiology of this problem is not clear. We describe here a case of migration of the tip of a port catheter from the right atrium to the right axillary vein in a patient with severe cough. Coughing was suggested for this case as the cause of the catheter tip migration. We corrected the position of the catheter tip via transfemoral snaring.
