Abstract

Pinch-off syndrome is a rare complication which develops due to compression of the venous catheter between the clavicle and the first rib with subclavius muscle and costoclavicular ligament. Rarely embolization of venous catheter fragments to the pulmonary vasculature (0.2-1%) occurs due to trauma resulting from compression. Regular postoperative X-rays can help determine whether there are compression findings. To minimize the risk of catheter compression, a more lateral insertion to the subclavian vein may be used or cephalic vein cut-down may be performed. Also the pinch-off syndrome may be avoided by using the internal jugular vein. In this article we present a case of a patient who had a terminal stage colon tumor and catheter pulmonary embolization from an implanted venous port, together with a review of the literature.

Özet

Venöz kateterin birinci kosta ile klavikula ve subklavius kas ile kostoklaviküler bağ arasında basıya bağlı olarak gelişen pinch-off sendromu nadir görülen bir komplikasyondur. Basının neden olduğu kronik travma nedeniyle çok nadir olarak kateter kopması ve pulmoner emboli (%0.2-1) gelişebilir. Ameliyat sonrası yapılacak düzenli akciğer grafileri bası bulguları olup olmadığını belirlemede yardımcı olacaktır. Kateter basısı riskini azaltmak için subklavian vene ponksiyon daha lateralden yapılabilir veya sefalik vene "cut-down" uygulanabilir. İnternal juguler ven kullanımı ile de pinch-off sendromundan kaçınılabilir. Bu yazıda, son dönem kolon tümörü olan bir hastada takılmış venöz portun kopması ile oluşan kateter pulmoner embolisi olgusu literatür eşliğinde sunuldu.
