Event or Problem Description

It was reported from the hospital, on (b)(6) 2024, a catheter kink occurred in the picc line of a patient in the rehabilitation department.After several attempts, the catheter could not be delivered to the superior vena cava.X-ray examination revealed vascular malformation, which prevented the catheter from reaching the superior vena cava.Finally, the catheter was left in the armpit.A few days after catheterisation, it was found that there was no blood return when the catheter was withdrawn.As the drug infusion was smooth, the catheter was left in place and the patient was kept under close observation.On (b)(6) 2025, it was found that the drug could not be infused, so the catheter was removed.After removal, a tear was found at the tip of the catheter.Repeated attempts to insert the catheter during the catheterisation process may have damaged the blood vessels, increasing the likelihood of subsequent phlebitis in the patient.No other information was provided.
