To the editor, Umbilical venous catheter (UVC) is a widely used venous access device in neonates of any gestational age due to the immediate accessibility of the umbilical vein and the simplicity of the procedure of its placement. Several complications of UVC have been reported, including the thrombotic and infective ones, its dislodgement, and embolization. [1] Retained UVC is an uncommon complication and needs prompt intervention to prevent its migration. We present a case of retained UVC and the algorithm for managing such cases.
