Özet
Totally implantable vascular catheters are used widely in patients who need long-term drug administration, parenteral nutrition and transfusion, because they allow safe and easily available vascular access. Pinch-off syndrome (POS) is described as breaking off the subclavian central venous catheter because of the compression by the surrounding tissues, first costa and clavicle. Embolization of the detached catheter part into ventricular space can cause serious arrhythmias. Today, with the help of advanced catheters used in the field of interventional radiology and cardiology, detached catheter part which causes embolism is successfully removed percutaneously, and no additional surgical procedure is required. In this case report, we present a case of POS suffering from serious arrhythmias because of fragmented catheter part moving into the heart and percutaneous treatment approach used to remove this detached fragment.
