Title: | Looping of a central venous catheter during pediatric cardiac surgery | Authors: | Huang, Shih Yu CHI-HSIANG HUANG Cherng, Yih Giun Chang, Hung Chi |
Keywords: | Central venous catheter | Looping | Pediatric cardiac surgery | Issue Date: | 1-Oct-2013 | Journal Volume: | 46 | Journal Issue: | 5 | Source: | Formosan Journal of Surgery | Abstract: | Although several complications with central venous catheters have been discussed extensively, intravascular migration is uncommon and often goes unrecognized during surgery. We present a case of central venous catheter looping into the left innominate vein after cardiopulmonary bypass during pediatric cardiac surgery. The clinical signs of a lack of backflow from the central venous catheter and different catheter tip positions on transesophageal echocardiography should alert clinicians to the possibility of intravascular migration. © 2013, Taiwan Surgical Association.
