Contrast injection via totally implantable venous access port (TIVAP) with fractured catheter. a X-ray photography obtained after implantation of TIVAP. b The fractured catheter was spontaneously found 7 months after implantation of TIVAP. c, d, e Saline was injected upon removal of the TIVAP septum; back flow from the TIVAP septum was slightly bloody. When contrast-enhanced sodium was injected through the TIVAP septum, contrast flow was observed in the femoral vein (arrow). A narrow tract can be seen between the tip of the fractured catheter and the femoral vein (arrowhead)
