Popis: An extremely premature infant born at a gestational age 24 5/7 and birth weight of 637 g was found to have retained a distal segment of an umbilical venous catheter (UVC) on chest radiograph after removal of the UVC. The catheter was retrieved by interventional radiology on day 10 of life when the baby weighed 660 g. To our knowledge, this is the smallest baby reported to have successfully retrieved catheter percutaneously via femoral access.
