Occlusion of the Left Superficial Femoral Artery During Hepatic Arterial Infusion of Chemotherapy for Liver Metastases from Colon Cancer 18 Months After the Implantation of a Port System: a Case Report

Abstract: We report a case of complication of a catheter port system. A 67-year-old male who had undergone left hemicolorectomy and partial hepatectomy for liver metastases from colon cancer underwent hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) of chemotherapy by a percutaneously implanted catheter port system to prevent recurrence. Eighteen months after the implantation of a port system he complained of intermittent claudication. Intravenous digital subtraction angiography (IV-DSA) showed occlusion of the left superficial femoral … Show more

“…Complications caused by the port system include migration of the indwelling catheter, catheter occlusion because of thrombus formation, catheter kinking, catheter-associated bloodstream infections, fibrin sheath formation, the port turning inside-out, and stenosis, occlusion, or pseudoaneurysm of the blood vessel in which the catheter is inserted [ 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 , 93 ]. In most cases, invasive treatments such as removing or replacing the catheter system are necessary.…”
