[Percutaneous catheter extraction of a ruptured Port-A-Cath in a small child].
A male child with protein-losing enteropathy received the completely implanted venous access catheter "Port-A-Cath" (Pharmacia Co.) at the age of 13 months for the regular application of human albumine infusions. After 12 months of impeccable functioning the catheter ruptured. By means of a percutaneous transfemoral angiographic extraction the catheter fragment was removed from the right ventricle.
