The totally implantable venous access ports (TIVAP) is commonly indicated for oncology patients for administration of chemotherapy, total parenteral nutrition and long-term intravenous therapy. It is associated with some complications, which might cause significant morbidity or mortality. Spontaneous fracture and migration of the catheter is a rare but potentially serious complication. We presented a 22 year-old gentleman with diffuse large B cell lymphoma and had TIVAP done. It was complicated with the fractured and embolized catheter fragment. Endovascular retrieval was successfully performed and patient was subsequently discharged well.
