| Popis: |
The fracture of an implantable subclavian venous access device and the subsequent embolization of a catheter fragment is a known complication that is usually associated with a set of clinical and radiologic signs of costoclavicular compression. This scenario is also known as pinch-off syndrome. We describe 2 cases of venous port fracture which led us to review the efficacy of follow-up procedures used in our hospital. As a result, we added instructions for radiologic and clinical verification of catheter placement, taking into consideration the dynamic nature of compression. We also established protocols for coordinating the involvement of different services. |
