Abstract EN

A 65-year-old female patient with severe mitral valve stenosis plus coronary artery disease was scheduled for mitral valve replacement and 2-vessel coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgeries simultaneously.

After a successful procedure, resistance was met on a CVC withdrawal.

During postoperative fluoroscopy, fixation of the catheter at the heart was confirmed which necessitated reopening the chest, cutting the suture, and removing the catheter.

When a catheter became hard to withdraw after open heart surgery, we should never withdraw it forcefully and blindly.

Although rare, one should consider inadvertent entrapment of CVC by a suture as the possible cause.
