Abstract:
The breaking of a central venous catheter implanted for chemotherapy is a serious complication. Its removal provides a considerable challenge, especially in immunocompromised and thrombocytopenic patients. We present our experience in the percutaneous transcatheter retrieval of the broken parts of catheters in critically ill onocologic and hematologic patients. Our observation indicates that this transcatheter technique is effective and safe, and may prove to be a good alternative to the surgical retrieval of intravascular foreign bodies. We also cover a short review of the literature in this field.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
