One of the reported complications of totally implantable venous access ports is the spontaneous migration of the catheter tip which can lead to serious complications. We report an early catheter tip migration into the ipsilateral internal jugular vein after initial correct placement of the port using the subclavian approach. Through this case and based on data from literature, we attempt to determine the factors predisposing to this mechanical complication and the means to avoid it.
