Central venous catheter malposition remains a serious risk demanding experienced technique and post-procedural radiological confirmation.
Case Report (n=2)
Highlights the importance of experienced staff, accurate technique, and radiological confirmation to prevent and detect central venous catheter malposition.
The insertion of central venous catheter (CVC) is used for different purposes among the patients. Seldinger method is the most common percutaneous access method for CVC insertion. During this procedure, direction of the catheter to an unwanted vein is a rare, but a serious complication. In order to reduce complications, it is essential that the staff applying the central venous catheterization should be experienced; use the accurate technique and the location of the catheter be displayed by using radiological method after the procedure. We aimed to discuss the malposition of the CVC in two cases in the light of the information in the literature
