Summary We present a case report of position‐dependent tachyarrhythmia following prone positioning for surgery in a 42‐yr‐old female with a left‐sided totally implantable venous access system (TIVAS) in‐situ. TIVASs are becoming increasingly popular for cancer patients receiving chemotherapy and who may present for either elective or emergency surgery.
