ABSTRACT
A 43 year old patient who underwent mitral valve replacement had pulmonary artery catheter inserted before induction of anaesthesia. The catheter could no be removed postoperatively by routine manoeuvres in the intensive care unit. Fluoroscopy in the cardiac catheterization revealed a straight course of the catheter indicating the probability of its inclusion in the left atrial suture line. The pulmonary artery catheter was successfully removed percutaneously in the cardiac catheterization laborartory. The procedure is described.
