Abstract

A totally implanted intravenous catheter (TIVAC) was placed via the subclavian vein in a 32-year-old male patient with HIV infection for intermittent drug therapy. 8 months after insertion, a catheter fracture was noted with embolisation of the distal part into the heart. This accident was related to shoulder trauma with a downward movement of the clavicle. In active patients alternatives to the subclavian approach for TIVAC need to be considered.
