Several potential complications including catheter malposition can occur during the insertion of TIVAP devices. Catheter malposition is a less commonly reported and an important complication of TIVAP insertion. In this article, we presented an uncommon case report of catheter malposition following TIVAP insertion in a 47-year-old woman. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of mispositioned TIVAP where the tip of the catheter is in the right axillary vein.<br /></p></p>}, number={12}, journal={Journal of Surgery and Medicine}, author={Yüksel, Ahmet and Velioğlu, Yusuf and Demirel, Mustafa Enes and Uçaroğlu, Erhan Renan}, year={2019}, month={Dec.}, pages={903–905} }
