Abstract
A totally implantable venous access port (TIVAP) is used for chemotherapy administration. Venous port migration to the systemic circulation occurs in less than 1% of complications. The aim of this study is to describe a case of TIVAP migration to the hepatic vein. A 44-year-old female patient with breast cancer was prescribed neoadjuvant chemotherapy. A port-a-cath was surgically implanted for chemotherapy. During the port puncture procedure, blood returned normally when aspirated. When the port was first accessed and flushed with saline solution, swelling was observed at the port site and blood could no longer be aspirated. A chest radiography showed catheter embolization in the region of the hepatic vein. The catheter was retrieved using a snare technique (without complications) and the patient was discharged the next day. The care team should be alert to possible TIIVAP malfunction.

Figure 3Chest X-ray taken after the procedure to remove the chemotherapy totally implantable venous access catheter that had migrated to the hepatic vein, showing the new port-a-cath fitted without complications. Explanatory Note: Arrows indicate that the new venous access port was implanted without complications; The posteroanterior (PA) chest view refers to the X-ray beams passing through the patient from posterior to anterior, with better evaluation of the structures closer to the ventral region.
Possible complications caused by totally implantable venous access ports (TIVAP) observed in a study by Voog et al.9 with 483 patients with TIVAP fitted.

Figura 3Radiografia de tórax realizada após o procedimento de retirada do cateter totalmente implantável para quimioterapia com migração para a veia hepática mostrando o novo cateter port-a-cath implantado sem complicações. Nota explicativa: As setas apontam o novo cateter port-a-cath implantado sem complicações; No contexto de uma radiografia, a sigla PA (póstero-anterior) refere-se à direção do raio-X atravessando o paciente de posterior para anterior, avaliando melhor estruturas mais próximas da região ventral.
Possíveis complicações decorrentes do uso de cateter totalmente implantável (CTI) ocorridas no estudo conduzido por Voog et al.9 em 483 pacientes com CTI implantado.
