Overview

Clinical observations report stent dislodgment leading to risks in patients requiring parenteral nutrition.

Key Points

  • The aim is to highlight mechanical complications associated with central venous catheter repair.
  • Observational case series involving four patients with tunneled central venous catheters.
  • Monitoring of stent position and functionality after catheter repair.
  • Assessment of complications post-repair.
  • All patients required long-term parenteral nutrition for intestinal failure.
  • Two patients' stent migrations were noticed early by caregivers, while two others were identified post-removal.
  • The dislodgment of the stent poses a risk for catheter malfunction and possible embolization.
