Abstract:
Central venous catheter (CVC) placement is frequently essential for the management of critically ill patients. This report describes a case involving the surgical retrieval of an embolized fragment of a CVC, originally intended for dialysis, following an unsuccessful removal attempt by a nurse due to catheter malfunction. The decision to remove and replace the malfunctioning catheter was made by the patient's physician. However, during the removal process, both the retaining suture and the catheter were inadvertently severed. This report also discusses the complications and management strategies associated with the embolization of a central line.

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...
