Case Report- Lost guide wire during central venous cannulation and its surgical retrieval
Kumar Shishir, Eapen S, Vaid VN, Bhagwat AR
Abstract
Central venous cannulation via the internal jugular vein is commonly used in critically ill patients. Numerous complications of this procedure including embolisation of a fragment of guide wire and its retrieval by interventional radiological techniques are well known. We report a case of a lost guide wire into the venous circulation during central venous cannulation, which was retrieved via a right femoral venotomy.
