Emergency Femoral Hemodialysis Catheter Placement Complicated by Prevesical Hematoma

Entrapment of guidewire during central venous catheterization

“…Guidewires are routinely used in the Seldinger technique during central venous catheter placement CVC placement is not innocuous as numerous complications may occur, with varying frequency and severity. 1 Arrhythmias, arterial puncture, pneumothorax, etc., are quite a common scenario and are obvious. Complications involving guidewire insertion like looping, knotting, vascular perforation, fragmentation and embolization are not readily appreciated.…”

Dialysis Catheter Placement: Retention of a Guide Wire

“…Guide wires are routinely used in the Seldinger technique during central venous catheter placement. 1 Catheter looping and knotting are known complications of central venous catheterization. The most common known complication of a guide wire is cardiac arrhythmias.…”

Removal of knotted dialysis guide wire under monitored anaesthesia care in radiological suite

“…[1] Complications such as looping, knotting, vascular perforation, fragmentation and displacement of the guide wire are encountered frequently. [2] We describe a case wherein there was knotting of guide wire during insertion of DLFC, not amicable to removal and needed removal under anesthesia in the radiological suite.…”
