Abstract BackgroundThe totally implantable venous access port (TIVAP) is a secure and practical choice for children undergoing long-term chemotherapy. Nevertheless, various complications still need to be treated cautiously. Among the complications, the migration of catheters to the thoracic cavity is a very rare (but potentially severe) condition that may necessitate device reimplantation. Furthermore, this migration may even be life-threatening if it is not detected in time.Case presentationA 1-year-old girl undergoing palliative chemotherapy underwent TIVAP placement via the right internal jugular vein. During the operating procedure, the catheter tip was located in the right atrium, which was confirmed by the use of C-arm. Prophylactic intravenous antibiotics were then adopted with routine aspiration and with flushing being conducted each time before administration. Massive right pleural effusion and migration of the catheter tip to the right thoracic cavity were detected on the 2nd day after implantation, which resulted in the removal and reimplantation of the TIVAP device.ConclusionsThe migration of the catheter into the thoracic cavity should be considered a possible complication of TIVAP implantation in children. Early detection and reimplantation may provide opportunities for the prevention of further severe complications.

Catheter Fracture

A totally implantable venous access port (TIVAP) plays a crucial role in the treatment of patients in oncology. Catheter fracture is a serious complication with an estimated incidence of 0, 1% - 1%. The objective of this systematic review is to analyze the mechanism of TIVAP fracture to make physicians aware of this fatal entity. A search of the literature between 1980 and 2019 was conducted using PubMed, Ovid, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Systematic Review databases. The search identified 18 case reports and 8 retrospective studies. Fracture of the middle part of the catheter may be induced by constant compression of the catheter between the first-rib and clavicle, which is called the pinch-off syndrome. Catheter fracture at the port-catheter junction may be caused by extrinsic compression near the port-catheter junction combined with material fatigue due to repeated bending of the catheter with shoulder movement. There is no specific cause for the fracture of a catheter tip. An annual chest X-ray is recommended for the early detection of TIVAP catheter fracture. Percutaneous endovascular retrieval of a dislodged Port-A catheter is both safe and effective. © 2019 Tehran University of Medical Sciences. All rights reserved. Acta Med Iran 2020;57(12):686-689.
