RESUMO
A 73-year-old woman with liver metastasis underwent implantation of an infusion catheter-port system for hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy. She developed multiple infarctions caused by disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) due to liver metastases. The hypercoagulability syndrome associated with cancer (known as Trousseau's syndrome) is considered a cause of cerebral infarction. Among the complications of the implantation of an infusion catheter-port system, Trousseau's syndrome may be one of the causes.
