Abstract
|
|
|
|
An intravenous foreign body was retrieved from a 10-year-old Maltese. A 24 gauze of fracture intravenous (IV) catheter moved into the circulation to a Maltese (3.4 kg) dog through the upper cephalic vein. Radiography was performed to observe the fracture’s moving path, followed by fluid therapy. It was found in the upper cephalic vein, moved about 10 cm up to dorsal and near the proximal humerus. Retrieval surgery was performed successfully without complications. The catheter fracture retrieval sometimes remains a challenge because of unknown complications in veterinary medicine. This case report describes that a fracture IV catheter moved to the systemic vein was removed successfully by a surgery.
