  • Title: Pericardial tamponade secondary to central venous catheterization and hyperalimentation in a very low birthweight infant.
    Author: Rogers BB, Berns SD, Maynard EC, Hansen TW.
    Journal: Pediatr Pathol; 1990; 10(5):819-23. PubMed ID: 2122426.
    Abstract:
    A very low birthweight infant developed pericardial tamponade secondary to leakage of fat emulsion through a catheter lodged in the right atrial appendage. At autopsy examination a thrombus was lodged in the appendage, which presumably resulted in immobilization of the catheter and leakage of the fluid through an attenuated and necrotic myocardial wall.
