AbstractFracture and embolization of peripheral intravenous cannula is very rare. Although endovascular retrieval is the standard of care for most of the embolized intravascular devices, endovascular management of embolized peripheral intravenous cannula is technically difficult due to its radiolucent nature and it is not described previously in the literature. We describe the clinical presentation, imaging findings, and endovascular management in a middle aged male who had fractured peripheral intravenous cannula which was embolized into the pulmonary artery branch. Technical nuances associated with retrieval of this radiolucent little plastic tube have been discussed.

Introduction: Venous air embolism is rarely seen, can be fatal and is associated mostly with large central venous catheters and mechanical ventilation. Some cases due to peripheral intravenous access have also been reported. Case Description: We present a case of intracranial venous air embolism most likely secondary to peripheral cannulation. On admission, the patient was drowsy with a suddenly deteriorating Glasgow coma scale score. This case emphasizes cautious cannula insertion and close monitoring of the patient in the event of complications. Conclusion: Intravenous cannulation is common but care should be taken to avoid catastrophic complications. Consider air embolism as the differential diagnosis if a patient has a low level of consciousness after an intravenous cannula is inserted.

We describe a case of a term female infant born in a rural community hospital and who developed a left-sided spontaneous tension pneumothorax shortly after birth. We used telemedicine to guide the family physician and healthcare team at the referring hospital to perform a life-saving thoracentesis using an intravenous cannula. The cannula was kept in place to drain the persistent pneumothorax during transportation to the pediatric intensive care unit at the tertiary hospital.

Ozurdex is a dexamethasone intravitreal implant used for the treatment of macular oedema. A rare but serious complication is the migration of the implant into the anterior chamber (AC) in eyes with absent or incomplete posterior capsules that may lead to corneal decompensation. We report the case of a 75-year-old woman who presented with a 1-day history of decreased vision in her left eye. She had a history of complicated cataract surgery and had received multiple Ozurdex implants for postoperative cystoid macular oedema in the same eye. She had significant left corneal decompensation and a mobile Ozurdex implant in the AC. We report a simple but novel surgical technique for removing an Ozurdex implant from the AC using an intravenous cannula (Venflon). This technique can also be applied to removing a fluocinolone acetonide (Iluvien) implant in similar situations.
