Loss of the guide wire is a rare, relatively dangerous, and preventable complication. Inattention is the main cause of the retained guide wires. The diagnosis is simple, but they are usually disregarded by the radiologists. The guide wires should be removed as quickly and completely as possible to prevent any complication. The interventional angiography is usually successful as the first line therapy. as the jugular, subclavian, femoral and brachial veins. Complications associated with the central venous catheters are infection, failure to place the catheter, arterial puncture, improper catheter position, pneumothorax, hematoma, hemothorax, asystolic cardiac arrest of unknown etiology, and inferior vena cava (IVC) trauma (1).

Catheterization of central veins is a routine technique which is widely used in emergency department and medical intensive care units. Seldinger's technique is widely used to place central venous and arterial catheters and is generally considered safe. The technique does have multiple potential risks. Guide wire-related complications are rare but potentially serious. We describe a case of a lost guide wire during central venous catheter (CVC) insertion followed by a review of the literature of this topic. Measures which can be taken to prevent such complications are explained in detail as well as recommended steps to remedy errors should they occur.

“…Health care associated IE is becoming more common. Its incidence is increasing with the increased use of central venous catheters (CVC) particularly in intensive care patients [2][3][4][5][6][7]. Herein, we present a case of IE in a patient with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and forgotten CVL guide wire.…”

Infective endocarditis is a serious and potentially fatal complication of central venous line (CVL) placement in patients with diseased hearts. A man of 59 was admitted because of fever and dyspnea of 5 days duration. He was a known case of ischemic cardiomyopathy with frequent admissions to a local hospital. Two months earlier, a CVL was placed in right subclavian vein for drug administration. On examination, he was febrile and hypotensive with a systolic murmur in tricuspid and mitral areas. CVL-guide wire was radiographically visible. White blood cells and C-reactive protein were elevated. Echocardiography showed big vegetation on tricuspid valve (TV), severe mitral and tricuspid regurgitation and dilated left ventricle whilst coronary angiography revealed 3-vessel disease. Antibiotic therapy was followed by an open heart surgery during which the guide wire and valve vegetation were removed, TV was repaired, mitral valve was replaced and coronary artery bypass grafting was performed. Culture of blood, valve tissue and guide wire grew Staphylococcus Epidermidis. Despite intensive medical and surgical therapy, the patient succumbed on the 4th postoperative day.
