ABSTRACT
The percutaneous subclavian venous catheter is used in administration of total parenteral nutrition in premature neonates.1,2 Most of the complications observed include catheter-related sepsis, cracking or obstruction of the line, and accidental removal.2 We encountered an unusual complication when an intravascular knot in the catheter was formed upon removal of the line. If care is taken when advancing the catheter, this complication can be avoided.
