A man with severe peripheral vascular disease and requiring total parenteral nutrition because of short bowel syndrome was referred because a central venous catheter could not be inserted by conventional techniques. A right thoracotomy was performed and a Hickman catheter inserted via the right atrial appendage into the right atrium. This catheter was used for a total of seven months for total parenteral nutrition. For the last two months of this time, the patient was maintained at home on a Home Parenteral Nutrition Programme. After four months of total parenteral nutrition the patient developed recurrent fevers and the catheter was found to have migrated from the right atrium into the pulmonary artery. The catheter was resited under x-ray control and used for a further three months until the recurrence of fever and dyspnoea heralded the onset of septic pulmonary emboli resulting in his death.

Venous Catheterization

Pleural effusion is an extremely rare complication in neonates after umbilical venous catheterization that can present with respiratory distress, a neonatal emergency. It needs timely intervention to reduce respiratory distress. We report an interesting and rare case where a term newborn developed right-sided pleural effusion after umbilical venous catheter (UVC) insertion and starting on total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Pleural effusion was confirmed by X-ray and ultrasound and treated with intercostal drainage. The aspirated fluid was TPN, as evidenced by pleural fluid analysis. Pleural effusion resolved after removing the UVC.
