Without the femoral venous approach, transcatheter closure of an atrial septal defect is challenging. We performed percutaneous closure via the left subclavian vein in a patient with absence of the inferior vena cava with azygos continuation. Considering that inferior vena cava anomalies are not extremely rare among those with congenital heart disease, the left subclavian vein approach can be an alternative to the femoral approach.

A case of spontaneous fracture of the outlet catheter of a totally implanted catheter system (Port-A-Cath) is presented. The outlet catheter was fractured at the entrance into the left subclavian vein twenty-one weeks after insertion and the distal part was embolized in the right ventricle. The embolized catheter fragment was retrieved by a ‘goose-neck’ snare via the right femoral vein. The awareness of a possible spontaneous fracture of the outlet catheter of a totally implanted catheter system (Port-A-Cath) is important to prevent accidental spillage of potent cytotoxic substances.
