Abstract:
We describe a case of right atrial thrombosis complicating Hickman catheter placement in a patient with necrotising pancreatitis. Heparin therapy resulted in the further complication of peripancreatic haemorrhage. Literature on thrombo‐embolic complications after Hickman or Broviac catheter insertion is reviewed, and the optimum position for catheter placement is discussed.
