The use of subcutaneously tunneled, cuffed central venous catheters like Broviac's or Hickman's has increased and complications related to catheter removal has also increased. However, there are only few reports of complications that occur at the time of removal. The authors report an unusual case of catheter fracture during removal of Broviac catheter.

Central venous catheters provide an important means of vascular access and are increasingly used. Catheter occlusion refers to the inability to infuse or withdraw fluids from a catheter and could be caused by either thrombotic or nonthrombotic origin. We report an unusual malfunction of double lumen central venous catheter due to kinking and bending of the catheter at the opening site of proximal lumen.

Implantable central venous catheters (Chemoport) are increasingly being used for vascular access, parenteral nutrition and administering chemotherapeutic agents. As with most invasive procedures, central venous catheterization is associated with numerous potential complications such as infection, thoromboembolism and occlusion. A rare but serous complication is the catheter fracture. We present here three cases of catheter fracture as a consequence of Pinch off syndrome, and we include a review of the relevant literature.

Central venous catheterization by Seldinger's technique uses a guidewire which may cause complications such as kinking, knotting and fracture. Fractured guidewire may lead to severe outcomes such as embolization, and removal of it may also cause problems such as vessel damage. We experienced a case of right internal jugular venous catheterization complicated by guidewire fracture entrapped in the central venous catheter, and its successful removal under fluoroscopic guidance using snare-loop. The patient recovered without any complications. When resistance is felt during insertion or withdrawal of the guidewire, force should not be applied to the guidewire and care should also be exercised when passing the tissue dilator over the guidewire. Clinicians should be aware of this rare complication and snare-loop technique could be considered as one of the methods for removal of the fractured guidewire.

9.A complication of subclavian venous catheterization: extravascular kinking, knotting, and entrapment of the guidewire: A case report.

Various complications of central venous catheterization have been reported, some of which are well-known, while others are described as a sporadic events. We experienced a case of left subclavian venous catheterization complicated by extravascular knotting, kinking, and entrapment of the guidewire and the guidewire was removed surgically. Although minimal resistance was encountered during guidewire insertion, the guidewire was advanced approximately 30 cm. Physicians should be aware of these rare potential complications when a guidewire is advanced if any resistance is encountered.
