Percutaneous retrieval of a broken umbilical vein catheter from left atrium in a premature newborn case report and literature review
نویسنده
چکیده
Umbilical catheters are often used in preterm infants as central venous access for fluid, drug administration, and blood sampling in intensive care units. When used properly, they are generally safe but there are various complications associated with the UVC, such as infection, arrhythmia, embolization, and catheter fracture [1–3]. Catheter fracture is an uncommon but very challenging complication for clinicians. Fractured Catheter segments can be retrieved by surgical or percutaneous techniques.
