Successful Percutaneous Retrieval of a Dislodged Chemo-port Catheter Using Snare Technique in a Three Year Old Child: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chemoport, a central venous infusion system is commonly used in cancer patients for administration of chemotherapy. Dislodgement with subsequent migration of chemoport catheter in to the heart is rare but potentially catastrophic complication. The treatment of choice is immediate retrieval of dislodged part of catheter by either surgery or percutaneous approach. Percutaneous removal is safer and less invasive making it the standard treatment modality. We herein report the case of a 3 year old child who was referred to us for the management of a dislodged chemoport catheter. In this article we discuss the treatment approach in this particular case as well as review the existing literature.
