Difficult removal of a wire-reinforced epidural catheter.

Harold L Pierre1, Brian M Block, Christopher L Wu.   

Abstract

We report a case of epidural catheter shearing, an uncommon complication of removal of a wire-reinforced epidural catheter. The catheter was removed without incident, and with the tip intact, after we allowed the patient to relax for 3 hours, placing the patient in the lateral decubitus position, and placing continuous tension on the catheter itself so as to let it "work its way out".
