Abstract
Complications associated with the use of the Swan–Ganz catheters including coiling and knotting of the catheter in the central venous system or in the chambers of the heart, often with disastrous consequences. We report a case of knotting of a Swan–Ganz catheter in the superior vena cava which necessitated surgical removal via the right internal jugular vein.
