Many suggest that the catheter fragment is safe to leave in place. However, this is not universally true by any means and catheters do, on occasion, embolize to the pulmonary artery. This has obvious dangers but also makes retrieval more difficult and dangerous. Retrieving the fragment in the SVC is generally a straight-forward procedure for an interventional radiologist and does not leave a foreign body in the SVC.
