Implantable catheter systems are the most common procedure used for patients requiring chemotherapy or long-term drug administration. Several procedures are used for the installation of these systems. Patients with long-term subclavian venous catheters described a progressive rupture of the catheter which is a rare complication. This rupture is most often due to costoclavicular forceps or Pinch-off syndrome (POS). We report 07 cases of Pinch-off syndrome to evaluate our diagnostic and therapeutic approach.
