Abstract :

Introduction: A number of complications have been reported during the insertion of a central venous catheter, including injury to adjacent major vessels, pneumothorax and bleeding. We hereby report a case of fractured guidewire during Seldinger technique and its successful retrieval. Background: even though loss of the guidewire and failure to remove the wire has been reported, fractured guidewire is a rarely reported complication of Seldinger technique for central venous catheter insertion. Case: Description: elderly female required haemodialysis for azotaemia and acidosis. Haemodialysis catheter insertion was done using Seldinger technique under ultrasound guidance. During procedure, guidewire fracture was noted and was successfully retrieved in Cath. Lab. Clinical Significance: This case reviews the literature of fractured guidewire and highlights the important steps in safe guidewire removal procedure.
