This study aimed to demonstrate the usefulness of ultrasound in evaluating complications in subcutaneous tissue associated with unplanned extraction of tunneled CVC.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twenty-five patients who underwent ultrasound examination for suspected complications in the subcutaneous tissue associated with tunneled areas from CVC were included. The following patient characteristics and imaging findings were evaluated: infection in subcutaneous tissue, high echogenicity and hypoechoic effusion around the catheter within the subcutaneous tissue, and hyperechoic foci around the catheter. Patients with CVC were classified into two groups: those with and those without unplanned extraction of tunneled CVC. Fisher\u2019s exact test was used to compare the two groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Nine patients had unplanned extraction of tunneled CVC. A significant difference was found in infection at tunneled areas (presence\/absence in patients with vs. those without unplanned extraction\u2009=\u20097\/2 vs. 2\/14, P\u2009=\u20090.002), as well as in hypoechoic effusion around the catheter within the subcutaneous tissues (presence\/absence in patients with vs. those without unplanned extraction\u2009=\u20099\/0 vs. 3\/13, P\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). However, no significant differences were found in the presence or absence of high echogenicity (presence\/absence in patients with vs. those without unplanned extraction\u2009=\u20097\/2 vs. 6\/10, P\u2009=\u20090.097) or hyperechoic foci around the catheter (presence\/absence in patients with vs. those without unplanned extraction\u2009=\u20093\/6 vs. 1\/15, P\u2009=\u20090.116).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The ultrasound findings were useful for determining the necessity of tunneled CVC extraction.
