Abstract
A peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line allows permanent vascular access and is widely used in pediatric oncology. In patients, who fully completed antitumor treatment, the PICC line should be removed. In some cases, however, the procedure may be complicated and such a catheter is then called a ‘hard-to-remove’ or a ‘non-removable’. This article describes a clinical case of successful non-surgical removal of a PICC line with a developed fibrin sheath.
