Özet

The use of vascular access lines in both central venous and arterial sites has significantly increased over the past decades. A retained intravascular foreign body is a well-known complication of central venous catheter placement in children as well as in adults. Herein, we present our experience of surgical removal of a retained intracardiac guidewire fragment penetrating into the subcutaneous tissue of the thoracic wall in a pediatric case.
