| Popis: | A central venous catheter with a subcutaneous infusion port was implanted for chemotherapy into a 64-year-old woman with gastric lymphoma. Six weeks later, two weeks after a trivial trauma with hyperextension of the shoulder joint, it was found that the catheter had broken and its tip portion had embolized into the pulmonary artery: it was retrieved without difficulty via the femoral vein. This event suggests that pressure between clavicle and first rib can cause material fatigue in a silicon catheter. Such catheters should therefore not be implanted via the subclavian vein. |
