Difficult-to-extract central venous catheter case study

Abstract:

We experienced the first case of a difficult-to-extract central venous catheter removed with a pacemaker lead removal system: a 14-year-old boy with Hirschsprung’s disease who had repeated catheter infections that could not be removed by traction. Because the catheter lumen was occluded, a suture was tied around the end of the catheter and the catheter was removed with a rotating dilator.
