Abstract

Hickman catheter placement rarely causes cardiac tamponade due to cardiac perforation in children. Cardiac perforation can be managed with timely perceive and appropriate approach. We present a case of the cardiac perforation related to Hickman catheter insertion in a 7-year-old girl and a review of the supporting literature.
