  • retained Hickman Catheter cuff as an infection source following allogeneic bone marrow transplant
    Bone Marrow Transplantation, 1994
    Co-Authors: L J Ruppel, R Brown, R A Borson, Eric D Whitman
    Abstract:

    The case is presented of an infected, retained Hickman Catheter cuff in a patient suffering from chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. This infection seeded to a distant site causing systemic symptoms and requiring inpatient surgical and medical treatment. Although many physicians leave the dacron Hickman cuff in place when removing Catheters, the presence of chronic skin changes associated with GVHD may predispose these patients to long-term infectious complications from this retained foreign body. We therefore advocate cuff removal at the time of Catheter removal in all transplant patients.

  • spontaneous separation and migration of a metal splice segment of a repaired Hickman Catheter
    Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, 1993
    Co-Authors: Jan Burnes, Darlene G Kelly
    Abstract:

    Repairs to the external silicone central venous Catheter segment are done to correct mechanical defects caused by natural wear and tear or traumatic Catheter injury. The ability to repair a damaged Catheter obviates the need for surgical replacement. Complications specific to repaired Hickman Catheters have not been reported. We report a case in which the metal piece separated from the replacement segment of a Hickman Catheter. This metal piece lodged 1 cm from the Catheter entrance to the anterior chest and caused incomplete Catheter occlusion.
