Summary

In this procedure, the provider performs imaging supervision and interpretation for mechanical removal of any kind of obstacle or block around a central venous access device or catheter, like a blood clot, dead tissues, or skin. These devices may remain in the vein for weeks or even longer for injecting drugs, so they may develop a block around them.
