Supraventricular tachycardia following insertion of a central venous catheter

Onder Yavascan et al. Saudi J Kidney Dis Transpl. 2009 Nov.

Abstract

Placement of central venous catheters (CVCs) in patients is associated with several risks including endocardial injury and dysrhythmias. In addition, CVC extending into intracardiac chambers can provoke premature atrial and ventricular complexes, which have been reported to initiate supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). A 15-year-old boy with end-stage renal failure developed SVT after insertion of a CVC.
