“…Park et al mentioned persistent left superior vena cava catheterization, which was diagnosed by chest radiography and could not be noticed by a linear US probe [12]. Habib et al reported seven cases of catheter malpositions after ultrasound-guided catheterizations using a linear probe, which were also diagnosed by radiography [13]. The use of an endocavity micro-convex probe allows satisfactory images of the jugular, subclavian, and brachiocephalic veins so that the malpositions mentioned above may be diagnosed during the procedure.…”

Central venous catheter placement with ultrasound guidance improves the success rate and reduces the number of puncture attempts and complications. Y-shape visualization of central veins using an endocavity micro-convex ultrasound probe is a new technique, which has been used for brachiocephalic vein cannulation. Since the jugular, subclavian, and brachiocephalic veins can be visualized in a single view using the Y-shape technique, it can also be used to confirm the correct placement of the catheter or guidewire. We aimed to present a case in which the location of the guidewire was verified by Y-shape visualization with an endocavity micro-convex probe after a cannulation attempt. Successful internal jugular vein catheterization was achieved with the assistance of the Y-shape imaging technique and the patient was avoided from multiple cannulation attempts.
