Catheter-Induced Lesions of the Right Side of the Heart

Abstract: We examined prospectively for one year the hearts from 141 consecutive autopsy cases in which a central catheter was present at the time of death. Three deaths were attributable to catheter use, two to perforation. Furthermore, mural thrombi were present in 33 (33%) of 99 patients with pulmonary arterial catheters and in 12 (29%) of 42 patients with central venous catheters. The incidence of pulmonary emboli or bacteremia was no greater in patients with thrombi than in those without. The use of central cathete… Show more

“…The presence of the catheter in contact with the vascular wall is the main cause of endothelial lesion with the formation of coagulation site and thrombosis ( Figure 5) by deposition of a fibrin layer and other plasmatic proteins [14] [19]. It seems that the catheter introduced in the vein is initially recognized as a foreign object that is rapidly covered with fibrin and plasmatic proteins followed by platelets deposition that forms a thrombus on the catheter surface [19].…”

“…The catheter inserted in the vein is recognized as a foreign object, which triggers an immediate inflammatory response with the formation of a fibrin layer and deposition of other plasmatic proteins on the object [14]. This tissual reaction is followed by platelet deposition and aggregation.…”

“…However, the post surgical state could be considered as a hypercoagulable state in the absence of reduced serum level of protein C-S. Although, there are some reports of JVT with extension to a subclavein vein or the right atrium and subsequent pulmonary artery emboli, but retrograde progression of thrombus from catheter site in jugular vein to cerebral venous system has not been reported in the medical literature (2,3,4). Herein, we report a patient who developed cerebral vein thrombosis in post CABG secondary to undiagnosed protein C and S deficiency which was precipitated by malposition of subclavian central catheter into IJV.…”

“…If these devices do not have low friction properties, their introduction into the body could be painful and cause damage to the mucous membranes or the intima of the blood vessels which could lead to infectious diseases or mural thrombus formation [1][2][3][4].…”
