  • Title: [Nonsurgical removal of iatrogenic intracardiac foreign bodies. A study in a 5-month-old infant].
    Author: Zwiauer K, Grabenwöger F, Lachmann D, Fitzal S, Horcher E.
    Journal: Monatsschr Kinderheilkd; 1987 Nov; 135(11):784-6. PubMed ID: 3431560.
    Abstract:
    The development of new techniques and special catheter instruments permit iatrogenically embolized polyethylene catheter fragments to be retrieved nonsurgically. A case is reported in which a fragment of a central venous catheter was removed from the right atrium and ventricle by a DORMIA catheter in a 5-month-old child. The literature concerning nonsurgical retrieval of catheters is reviewed and indications for removal and complications discussed.
