Umbilical catheters are used in the care of critically ill neonates for intravenous treatment. It is generally considered a safe procedure, although complications can occur. Of these, catheter breakage and intravenous migration are rare but potentially life-threatening events. Due to the low frequency of which these events occur, obtaining detailed descriptions of removal techniques can pose a challenge. Here, we describe a case of a broken umbilical vein catheter and the surgical retrieval of the retained fragment. We also present a thorough literature search of cases of broken umbilical catheters and the method by which they were removed.
脐导管用于危重新生儿的静脉治疗。虽然可能会发生并发症，但通常被认为是一种安全的操作。其中，导管断裂和静脉内迁移较为罕见，但却是潜在的危及生命的事件。由于这些事件发生的频率较低，因此获取详细的移除技术描述可能具有挑战性。在这里，我们描述了一例脐静脉导管断裂和手术取出残留片段的病例。我们还进行了彻底的文献检索，以了解断裂的脐导管的病例以及它们被移除的方法。
