Deskripsi
We describe an unusual case of a young child with peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) adherent to the ventricular septal wall 5 days following insertion. The impacted PICC was successfully retrieved using a transcatheter procedure. The technique describes the freeing of an intracardiac central line with closed ends.
