Abstract

Complications during central venous catheterization are well recognized and include infection, air emboliam, hemorrhage, pneumothorax and extravascular migration of central venous .catheter. The over-wire technique is usually considered safe. However, the wire itself can eause complications by looping knotting and retention. We ecperienced a case of accidental insertion of entire guide-wire during central venous catheterization via the right interal jugular vein. The right femoral vein was cannulated and the guide-wire was removed by a PIG TAIL catheter under the fluoroscopy.
