- Abstract: ENDOVASCULAR RETRIEVAL OF AN ACCIDENTALLY CUT CHEMOPORT CATHETER FROM THE HEART:A 40-year-old lady with underlying rectal adenocarcinoma presented to the angiography suite for an elective removal of an infected chemoport. The catheter was inadvertently cut during the procedure resulting in the dislodgment of the embolized fragment into the right side of the heart. Retrieval of the catheter using the endovascular approach described in this case was successful without any serious adverse events to the patient.
