Venous air embolism (VAE) is an infrequent incident with fatal consequences
during insertion or removal of central venous catheters. It is befalling when air
or gas arrives at the vascular system. In this case report, we present a case of a

Ganz catheter that caused the seizure and cardiac arrest. There is an overview
