Vascular access peal-away-sheath embolisation

Abstract:

Chemotherapy port implantation is a common procedure for long-term intravenous access in cancer patients. While generally safe, complications can occasionally occur. This case report describes a rare complication of chemotherapy port placement, specifically peel away sheath embolisation, and its successful endovascular removal using snaring techniques. The purpose of this report is to highlight this uncommon complication and discuss the management strategy employed in our case.
