Abstract
A rare complication of central vein catheter placement is the complete loss of guide wire into the circulation. It may get unnoticed and may be asymptomatic also but should always be removed as early as possible. We report a case of lost guide wire during central venous catheter placement which was eventually removed without complications. The factors leading to this complication, how to prevent it and how to deal with it will be addressed.
