Embolização para veia cava inferior de cateter totalmente implantável para quimioterapia

Abstract: Fracture of a peripherally inserted catheter causing embolization in patients on chemotherapy is a serious and rare complication, constituting less than 1% of complications related to this procedure.

In the present case, the entire catheter had migrated; and the catheter had therefore become disconnected from the port, which could occur because of excessive pressure during infusion of drugs or because of poor surgical technique.…”
