Abstract
Peripherally inserted central lines are important for management of newborns in intensive care. 1% of PICC lines can migrate. Here we describe a preterm baby with a migrated PICC line enmeshed on the pulmonary valve. This was retrieved by snare from the pulmonary valve. The technique is described as also the challenges related to doing this in a small baby.
