Imaging findings
Port reservoir and catheter found loose within a large tissue expander pocket following reconstructive surgery.
Key takeaways
Vascular ports should ideally be sutured to the fascia; otherwise, in patients with capacious pockets (like those from tissue expanders), the device can migrate or flip, causing dislodgement.
