Abstract
|
|
|
|
The use of totally implantable central venous access devices (chemoport) has increased with the development of chemotherapeutic agents in oncologic patients, especially with no venous access site. However, there can be various complications such as port site infection, thromboembolism, injury of central vein, fracture of catheter, and migration of catheter. We report a rare case of migration of catheter to right atrium due to the separation of the catheter from the chemoport.
