Method: This was a five-year retrospective review of consecutive computed tomography (CT) scans of the cervical spine for structural anomalies of the cervical vertebral pedicle and facets. CT, radiographs and, when available, magnetic resonance imaging studies were independently reviewed.
Article Synopsis
- Pressure-injectable peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) are commonly used for injecting contrast during CT scans, and while they are typically safe, complications can occur.
- This case review highlights three instances where PICC tips migrated after contrast pressure injections, with some migrating into the pleural cavity, leading to complications.
- The report aims to raise awareness about this specific complication, which had not been previously identified at the institution, and is classified as a Level 4 evidence case series.
