Abstract: (8506 Views)
Background: Central venous catheters (CVCs) have been used widely in clinics. These catheters are also recommended for children and infants receiving chemotherapy and total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and etc. In this paper, we present migrated fractured control line of the heart of a girl.
Case Presentation: A 2.5 year old girl with migrated of the fractured central line into the heart. In the catheterization laboratory, first we placed a long sheath (8 F) into the inferior vena cava via femoral vein and then trapped the foreign body by pigtail catheter and wire 0.035 inch and pulled it down to make its proximal free. After that, we snared the catheter by snare-catheter and pulled it into the femoral vein, and then the cardiac surgeon bridged it out by cut-down successfully.
Conclusion: A rare complication in the use of central catheters is fraction and cardiac embolization. We offer gentle bringing out of the catheter lines under fluoroscopy guide in all of the cases, if this is technically possible and safe.
