Patients with malignancy who develop superior vena cava (SVC) obstruction may require stenting to relieve their symptoms. Some of these individuals also have an indwelling chemoport for concomitant chemotherapy. We present a case where stenting was accomplished after catheter-assisted deflection of the chemoport catheter tubing via a single groin access. It can save procedure time whilst salvaging the device.
患有恶性肿瘤并发生上腔静脉(SVC)阻塞的患者可能需要支架置入来缓解症状。其中一些患者还留置有化学端口以进行同时进行的化学治疗。我们介绍了一个病例,通过单次腹股沟入路,使用导管辅助使化学端口导管转向,从而完成支架置入。这可以节省手术时间,同时保留该设备。
