extra luminal entrapment of guide wire; a rare complication of central venous catheter placement in right internal jugular vein

Extra Luminal Entrapment of Guide Wire; A Rare Complication of Central Venous Catheter Placement in Right Internal Jugular Vein.

Central venous Catheterization (CVC) is a commonly performed procedure for venous access. It is associated with several complications. We report a rare case of extra luminal entrapment of guide wire during CVC placement in right jugular vein. We report a case of 28 years old female patient presented in our emergency with history of entrapped guide wire in right side of neck during CVC. X-ray sh...

Delayed Haemothorax Resulting from Indwelling Right Internal Jugular Central Venous Catheter: A Rare Complication.

Haemothorax is an uncommon and serious complication, occurring most often during or immediately after percutaneous internal jugular and subclavian vein catheterizations. Delayed haemothorax is a rare complication, especially following right-sided catheterization. We report a case of acute yellow phosphorus poisoning with acute liver failure (resulting from rat killer paste ingestion) in a 28-ye...

Accidental Placement of Central Venous Catheter into Internal Mammary Vein: A Rare Catheter Malposition

477 The Editor, Central venous catheterization plays important roles in cardiac surgery. Although a relatively safe procedure, it is associated with multiple complications. Malposition of the catheter tip is one of them. This report presents a rare malposition of a catheter into left internal mammary vein (IMV). It also emphasizes the need for routine use of ultrasound to minimize such complica...

Needle loss in subclavian vein during central venous catheter placement: case report of a rare complication

We present a case of needle separation during central venous catheter (CVC) placement in a super morbidly obese patient with subsequent surgical intervention in its retrieval. This complication, potentially lethal due to the relevant anatomy of such a procedure, alerts critical care physicians and surgeons to the possibility of equipment failure and stresses proper technique in what has become ...
