ABSTRACT
We encountered a patient with an infection related to an implanted central venous port-catheter that necessitated removal of the system. As the catheter had tightly adhered to the venous wall, removal was impossible with standard methods. After trial and error, we used a guiding catheter that was advanced over the implanted catheter to detach the fibrin sheath on the implanted catheter that had adhered to the vessel wall. At that time, a pull-through technique was used. After we succeeded in detaching the adhesion with the guiding catheter, we were able to withdraw the implanted catheter.
