Abstract
Central vein catheterization using the Seldinger technique has long been utilized as an invasive procedure for vascular access. Possible
complications associated with the procedure include hemothorax, pneumothorax, and vascular injury. Forgetting a J-tipped guidewire inside
the vessel during the Seldinger procedure is a rare complication. Herein, we present two cases in whom a forgotten J-tipped guidewire was
successfully removed under the guidance of angiography.
