Abstract

We present an inadvertent unusual complication of a double square knot found within a PICC in this case report. PICCs are known to cause catheter-related bloodstream infection, catheter malfunction, thromboembolism, catheter migration, and catheter fracture is reported. But the occurrence of double square knot is the rarest complication during insertion which led to unexpected challenges during removal and to our knowledge there are no case reports of this rarest event. We discuss the case presentation, management, and clinical implications of this rare complication.

在本病例报告中，我们介绍了一个在 PICC 内发现的双方形结的意外异常并发症。众所周知，PICC 可导致导管相关血流感染、导管故障、血栓栓塞、导管移位和导管断裂。但双方形结的发生是插入过程中最罕见的并发症，它导致了拔管过程中意想不到的挑战，据我们所知，目前还没有关于这一罕见事件的病例报告。我们将讨论这一罕见并发症的病例表现、处理方法和临床意义。
