Abstract

Owing to the increased incidence of patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), maintenance haemodialysis becomes an integral part of the management of these patients. Vascular access in these patients is challenging and the use of Tunnelled Central Venous Catheters (tCVCs) is extremely common. Iatrogenic complications like loss of guidewires during the procedure are completely avoidable and necessary precautions have to be taken to prevent this. However, if such a complication prevails, adequate and prompt management of removal of guidewire has to be undertaken.
