Abstract
OZORES SUAREZ, Francisco Javier et al. Removal of a fractured catheter by means of interventionist cardiac catheterization in a premature patient weighing 1 600 g. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 2011, vol.83, n.2, pp. 182-187. ISSN 1561-3119.
This is the case of a premature patient aged one month weighing 1 600 g, whose epicutaneous catheter was fractured moving to be located in the distal portion in the left branch of pulmonary artery. The catheter was removed by femoral route by interventionist cardiac catheterization allowing us to demonstrate the effectiveness of such procedure in this type of complication.
