| Abstract: | A case of nonsurgical removal of a severed central venous catheter that was located in the right atrium by the percutaneous transfemoral loop method in a newborn is reported. Many percutaneous techniques have been described for nonsurgical removal of intravascular or intracardiac foreign bodies in adults with good success rates; we believe this is the first report in an 11-day-old neonate.Offprint requests to: Soon-Ok Choi |
