“…For device-related complications, the extraction techniques have improved and several reports have been already published in the field with the endovascular approach more used. [ 5 6 7 ] For CVC and other types of catheters, beyond conventional surgery, different mini-invasive[ 8 9 ] or novel surgery techniques[ 10 ] have been proposed. Our case is intriguing due to the position and the long-lasting.…”

In the last few years, a tremendous advancement has been made in the therapeutical management of several diseases with an increasing need for parental drug administration. To avoid repeated venous insertions and the patient’s anxiety related to these procedures, it is now common practice to insert a catheter to leave it in place for a longer time. However, these procedures may generate some complications, such as failure of insertion, embolization, and infection. Different noninvasive techniques have been proposed and used for the retrieval of lost or misplaced foreign objects. Here, we presented a case of the lost fragmented catheter in a young female who underwent a central venous catheter insertion 10 years ago, incidentally detected during an echocardiographic examination.
