Abstract: | The use of central venous catheters is associated with many different
complications, some of which can be life threatening. Most complications
associated with the use of central venous catheters are either immediate
and occur around the time of catheter insertion, or are delayed and are
related to the duration of catheter use. Complications occurring after
removal of central venous catheters are reported infrequently but are still
a cause of significant morbidity. The following case report illustrates a
serious complication which occurred after a large gauge central venous
catheter was removed from a patient and demonstrates the importance of
close observation not only at the time of catheter placement but also when
such devices are removed.
