Management of catheter emboli - PubMed
We analyze the literature on catheter emboli and present a case showing that extraction of embolized fragments is not always possible. Catheter emboli are a significant risk to patient well-being. With a 49% complication rate for indwelling catheter emboli, the consensus is that these foreign bodies should be removed.
