An Unusual Delayed Complication of Central Venous Cannulation: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
The venous system is a common anatomical site for a number of foreign bodies. Our case reports a central venous catheter left accidently in the venous system. The catheter was found with its one end in the right ventricle and the other in the pelvis adjacent to right utero vesical junction and bladder and traversing inferior vena cava, right iliac vein and proximal internal iliac vein. It was found as an incidental finding during investigations (CT abdomen and X ray abdomen). It was retrieved after surgical exploration. A brief case report with review of literature is presented.
