It was reported that there was no flow to the pump, resulting in additional surgery.The patient was implanted with an intera 3000 hepatic artery infusion pump.During a pump refill procedure on an unknown date, all 30 ml of medication was returned, indicating no flow.Imaging revealed that the catheter was twisted around a suture within the pump pocket.The surgeon opened the pump pocket and unraveled the catheter.The catheter was flushed using a special bolus needle to confirm that it was not occluded, and the pump was re-sutured into the pocket.The troubleshooting resolved the observed catheter twisting.The patient was scheduled for a hepatic arterial perfusion scintigraphy (haps) scan in a few days and a pump refill the following week.
