Abstract
A central venous (CV) port is an important device for cancer treatment, as it enables safe venous access. We herein report the case of an 82-year-old man with recurrent gastric cancer who experienced J-tip spring guidewire entrapment caused by the Chiari network during CV port implantation. The guidewire was pulled away, with a piece of tissue at its tip. The tissue comprised cardiomyocytes, stratified collagenous fibers, and elastic fibers. The condition was diagnosed as a Chiari network. Based on our experience, operators should be aware of the risk of Chiari network involvement even with a normal transthoracic echocardiogram result.
