Percutaneous transfemoral repositioning of malpositioned central venous access device: A report of two cases
No full textPlacement of long term central venous access devices (CVAD) such as
chemo ports and Hickman′s catheters are associated with a
definite risk of catheter tip malpositioning. As such, malpositioning
runs a risk of venous thrombosis and related complications; it is
imperative to reposition the catheter. Percutaneous transfemoral venous
approach has been described as a minimally invasive and safe method for
the repositioning. We present two cases in which the CVAD implanted in

vein. A percutaneous transfemoral venous approach utilizing 5 Fr
angiographic catheter was successful in repositioning of the catheters
