ABSTRACT
The complications associated with the use of pulmonary artery catheter include dysrhythmias, heart block, pulmonary artery rupture, pulmonary infarction, endocardial damage, balloon rupture, arterial puncture, thromboembolism, air embolism, infection, pneumothorax, and knotting of the catheter. Knotting of the catheter is a rare complication and it should be anticipated if there is an excessive advancement of the pulmonary artery catheter beyond the normally expected distance. We report a successful surgical removal of knotted pulmonary artery catheter by sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass.
