Abstract
The implantable venous port system has gained popularity as venous access when prolonged chemotherapy is needed in cancer patients. Intravascular fracture and embolization of catheter fragments from port-catheter systems is rare. Here we report a 49-year-old lady who was found having a fractured port-catheter located over the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). Percutaneous transfemoral transcatheter retrieval of the fractured catheter was performed but complicated with flailed tricuspid valve.
