Abstract
The central venous catheter insertion is routinely practice by almost all anesthetists. The complications associated with this procedure can at times turn into a sudden nightmare. In present day scenario the CVC insertion is aided by use of ultrasonography (USG). However, in certain situations like odd working hours, inattention, lack of expertise, hemodynamic instability, improper positioning, poor lighting etc. can lead to dreaded complications like loss of guide wire. This case was managed successfully following retrieval of guidewire percutaneously.
