Central venous catheter related pulmonary embolism in an infant

Extract:

“We reported an infant who suffered from huge lumen-like pulmonary embolism with possible origin from thrombi around the prolonged indwelling central venous catheter and had discharged smoothly after surgical embolectomy. This rare case of pediatric pulmonary embolism reminded us of this possible lethal complication of prolonged use of central venous catheters in PICU and surgical embolectomy could provide good outcomes for huge pulmonary embolism in infants.”
