Totally implanted venous access ports are excellent devices for delivering chemotherapeutic agents and prolonged intravenous infusions in patients with cancer. Catheter fracture and embolization are rare and potentially serious complications of these widely used devices. Retrieval of the embolized fragment is generally indicated but may not be possible. The authors report three cases of catheter embolization in their center over a period of 9 years. Catheter "pinch-off," fracture, embolization, and retrieval are discussed.
全植入式静脉通路端口是用于为癌症患者输送化疗药物和进行长时间静脉输注的优良装置。导管断裂和栓塞是这些广泛使用的装置罕见但可能严重的并发症。通常需要取出栓塞碎片，但可能无法做到。作者报告了他们中心在9年期间发生的3例导管栓塞病例。并对导管“夹闭”、断裂、栓塞及取出进行了讨论。
