The purpose of this educational exhibit is to review radiography, fluoroscopy, computed tomography (CT), and ultrasound (US) imaging appearance of commonly placed genitourinary catheters. The imaging findings associated with appropriately positioned catheters as well as misplaced and displaced catheters are described. Read More

Umbilical catheters provide intravascular access in the neonatal period that is lifesaving and relatively easy to obtain. However, they are associated with numerous complications related to their placement and use. These may occur because of injuries to vessels and adjacent structures at the time of or following catheter placement; an example is a liver hematoma caused by focal perforation of the umbilical or portal veins during attempted passage of the catheter into the ductus venosus. Complications may also arise from the use of a malpositioned catheter. Pleural effusions and ascites composed of total parenteral nutrition solutions may result from the use of an umbilical venous catheter that terminates in the portal venous system. Complications may be caused by otherwise well positioned, normally functioning catheters, which are innately thrombogenic and may cause thrombosis of the aorta and branches, portal venous system, or caval tributaries, with potentially devastating consequences. Finally, catheter-associated blood stream infection is always a risk during placement and subsequent use. The resulting bacteremia can lead to life-threatening sepsis and additional complications such as septic thrombosis and mycotic aneurysm. This educational review presents a spectrum of complications related to umbilical catheters, organized according to the framework outlined above. The review includes images of cases illustrating both common and unusual entities and a discussion of their salient imaging and clinical features. Read More

Umbilical catheters (UC) are ubiquitously utilized in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) during the early neonatal stage. Traditionally, these catheters are placed blindly, with the external length of the catheter being used to approximate catheter depth. This then requires subsequent radiographs to be obtained to assess for position, often in a sterile field, with considerable dead time. This exhibit will educate the viewer about the use of ultrasound guidance in the placement of these catheters. Read More

Long-term central indwelling catheters are required for multiple treatments in pediatric patients including hemodialysis, parenteral nutrition and chemotherapy. An infrequent complication of these catheters is difficulty at removal or replacement (the “stuck” catheter). Attempted removal of these “stuck” catheters can lead to catheter fracture and retained catheter fragments. These retained catheter fragments can lead to infection, venous thrombosis and ultimately venous stenosis. Given that pediatric patients often require long-term venous access, preservation of venous reserve is critical to the care of these patients. In this exhibit, published literature will be reviewed and a pictorial review of the authors’ clinical experience with “stuck” catheters will be presented. Read More
