Ventricular tachycardia secondary to Port-a-Cath fracture and embolization.

Mark A Denny1, Leonard R Frank.   

Abstract

Distal embolization of a fractured indwelling venous access catheter is a known, but rare, complication of these common devices. We report a case of possibly life-threatening tachydysrhythmia caused by an embolized portion of catheter from a totally implanted venous access catheter. Our discussion focuses on review of the literature on the typical presentation and management of this entity, as well as a brief discussion on prevention and risk factors for developing this complication.
