Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Introduction: Umbilical vein catheters have been used in neonates especially critically sick in intensive care units. They are life saving when used as central venous access. Case report: We report a case of shearing of umbilical vein catheter, which later on embolized into inferior vena cava and then right atrium. Conclusion: We need to be more careful in such small procedures of umbilical vein catheter removal, that may lead to such horrific complications.
