| description | Central venous catheterization is a common practice for vascular access in different patients. Various complications associated with catheter insertion, including infection, migration, and retention, have been reported. In this report, we present an Asian (Persian) case of a 53-year-old male with a retained guidewire that protruded spontaneously from the left parietal skull 6 months after catheterization in the femoral vein. We also discuss guidewire retention’s different types, causes, and possible complications. Central venous lines are fundamental instruments that are frequently used for treatment goals; hence, loss of guidewire is a preventable complication. Preparing checklists and the attendance of two experts during the guide wire insertion procedure are two ways to reduce the loss of the guidewire. |
