Repairs to the external silicone central venous catheter segment are done to correct mechanical defects caused by natural wear and tear or traumatic catheter injury. The ability to repair a damaged catheter obviates the need for surgical replacement. Complications specific to repaired Hickman catheters have not been reported. We report a case in which the metal piece separated from the replacement segment of a Hickman catheter. This metal piece lodged 1 cm from the catheter entrance to the anterior chest and caused incomplete catheter occlusion. (Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition 17:287-288, 1993)
