Abstract

Abstract: The use of power‐injectable peripherally inserted central catheter (PIPICC) is a common practice, but displacement of these lines following injection of contrast media has been reported in 15.4% of cases. This report presents imaging evidence of displacement and self‐correction of a PIPICC line following contrast‐enhanced computed tomography. Abstract : Abnormalities in the peripherally inserted central catheter position caused by injection of contrast media may rectify spontaneously, but physicians should be aware that intervention will be required if the catheter tip does not self‐correct.
