Percutaneous retrieval of a fractured chemoport

Chemoport, a central venous infusion system, is commonly used in cancer patients for administration of chemotherapy. Dislodgement with subsequent migration of chemoport catheter in to the heart is a rare but potentially catastrophic complication. The treatment of choice is immediate retrieval of the dislodged part of catheter by surgery or percutaneous approach. Percutaneous removal is safer and less invasive making it the standard treatment modality. We report the case of a 9-year-old child who was referred to us for the management of a dislodged chemoport catheter.
