Article Abstract
We report a case of a colloid adenocarcinoma in the left lower lobe in a 59-year-old female. The fractured chemoport catheter fragment, which was inserted 10 years ago for gastric cancer chemotherapy, was embedded in left superior segmental pulmonary artery. The patient underwent left lower lobectomy with resection margins and all lymph nodes free of tumor through uniportal video assisted thoracic surgery. The patient was lucky because the malignancy and fractured chemoport catheter fragment could be removed concomitantly without additional lung resection due to the location of catheter fragment. A port access via the internal jugular vein should be considered to prevent pinch-off syndrome and the chemoport catheter needs to be removed as soon as possible after the completion of chemotherpy.

Introduction: Reliable long-term venous access is crucial for pediatric oncology, particularly in resource-limited settings where peripheral intravenous access often proves inadequate. Totally implantable venous access devices or chemoports, provide a durable and safe alternative. However, literature from newly established cancer centers in low- and middle-income countries remains sparse.

Purpose: Chemo-port insertion is performed by a radiologist or surgeon in an interventional radiology (IR) suite or an operating room (OR). The complication rate is approximately 3%-4%. However, there is still a lack of data for comparison when it is performed in different conditions such as IR suite and OR.

Background: Most patients with advanced malignancies require chemotherapy as a fundamental component of treatment. A durable venous access device is essential to facilitate the repeated administration of chemotherapeutic agents. However, there is relatively limited research on the selection of optimal access methods.

Implantable subcutaneous chemoports are routinely employed for delivering chemotherapy in oncology. Spontaneous catheter dislodgement and embolization of the catheters are rare complications of the procedure. Herein, we report our experience with a patient presenting with spontaneous dislodgement and migration of the catheter to the pulmonary artery.
