A complication of subclavian venous catheterization: extravascular kinking, knotting, and entrapment of the guidewire -A case report-
نویسندگان
چکیده
Various complications of central venous catheterization have been reported, some of which are well-known, while others are described as a sporadic events. We experienced a case of left subclavian venous catheterization complicated by extravascular knotting, kinking, and entrapment of the guidewire and the guidewire was removed surgically. Although minimal resistance was encountered during guidewire insertion, the guidewire was advanced approximately 30 cm. Physicians should be aware of these rare potential complications when a guidewire is advanced if any resistance is encountered.

Successful removal of kinked J-guide wire under fluoroscopic guidance during central venous catheterization -A case report-
Guidewire-associated complications that occur during the process of central venous catheterization include its kinking, looping, knotting and breakage. The removal of a looped or knotted guidewire is problematic because it can cause vessel damage, major hemorrhage, or embolization of a fractured guidewire. We report a case of guidewire kinking and its successful removal under fluoroscopic guida...
متن کاملFracture of J-tipped guidewire during central venous catheterization and its successful removal under fluoroscopic guidance -A case report-
Central venous catheterization by Seldinger's technique uses a guidewire which may cause complications such as kinking, knotting and fracture. Fractured guidewire may lead to severe outcomes such as embolization, and removal of it may also cause problems such as vessel damage. We experienced a case of right internal jugular venous catheterization complicated by guidewire fracture entrapped in t...

To the Editor: We read with interest the article by Gulel et al. who presented a case of a missed guidewire complicated by pulmonary and systemic embolism from thrombi that formed on the wire surface. We have previously reported on missing the guidewire during central venous catheterization and described several precautions and technical modifications to prevent the guidewire escape. We believe...

Subclavian venous catheterization was once widely used for volume resuscitation, emergency venous access, chemotherapy, parenteral nutrition, and hemodialysis. However, its use has drastically reduced recently because of life-threatening complications such as hemothorax, pneumothorax. In this case, a patient admitted for a scheduled operation underwent right subclavian venous catheterization fo...
متن کاملTransient right hemidiaphragmatic paralysis following subclavian venous catheterization: possible implications of anatomical variation of the phrenic nerve -a case report-
Phrenic nerve paralysis is an unusual complication associated with central venous catheterization. Various mechanisms have been proposed. We present a case of transient right hemidiaphragmatic paralysis after subclavian venous catheterization. We hypothesize that anatomical variation of the phrenic nerve was responsible for this complication.
