Central line retrieval in a neonate

Abstract: Peripherally inserted central lines are important for management of newborns in intensive care. 1% of PICC lines can migrate. Here we describe a preterm baby with a migrated PICC line enmeshed on the pulmonary valve. This was retrieved by snare from the pulmonary valve. The technique is described as also the challenges related to doing this in a small baby.

“…6 Kohli et al used a percutaneous approach to remove a PICC line which had enmeshed within the pulmonary valve. 7 Our patient underwent a percutaneous removal by our team of pediatric interventional cardiologists. Other complications associated with feed intolerance and sepsis in our patient were managed conservatively.…”

“…4 Retrieval of broken catheters can be performed surgically or by percutaneous approach (snare/ forceps). [5][6][7] Ruiz et al used a pigtail catheter and a snare wire to remove a broken UVC lodged in the left pulmonary vein of a 30 weeks 1.1 kg neonate. 5 Dhua et al tried to remove a UVC, which had been spliced by a scalpel blade at the time of removal of sutures, by a supra umbilical surgical procedure.…”

“…In their opinion, the foreign body could otherwise lodge in the intraventricular structures [ 33 ]. This could be prevented by using long trans-septal sheaths of a sufficient gauge (8 or 11 Fr), positioned as close as possible to the embolized device, which is finally drawn completely into the sheath [ 34 ]. Also, this could help to negotiate the tortuous course of the RV cavity and its outflow tract when using rigid baskets or forceps.…”

“…One such case in point is a premature baby with a 20 cm displaced PICC line requiring snaring and retrieval. 15 Though an uncommon intervention, this can make a newborn critically ill. Retrieval can be challenging in a small baby with a large line which may have potential of knotting.…”
