A case report on the choice of venous access after ectopic peripherally inserted central catheter in an upper limb of a patient with a second recurrence of right-side breast cancer
This case presents a rare and insightful clinical scenario. For patients with a history of infusion port placement, particularly via the left internal jugular vein, careful analysis of the innominate vena cava and examination of chest wall vein exposure are essential to determining the optimal vascular access strategy.
