Abstract :
Catheterization of central veins is a routine technique which is widely used in general hospitals and medical intensive care units. It should be carefully performed and managed to prevent adverse side effects. In this case report, we describe a case of lost guide wire during central venous catheterization, which was successfully treated with a minimally invasive surgical technique. Inattention is the main cause of the retained guide wires. The interventional angiography is usually successful as the first line therapy.
