Ultrasound aided repositioning of misplaced guidewire during subclavian vein catheterisation. J Vasc Access. 2019 Feb 13;:1129729819826483 Authors: Longo F, Piliego C, Agrò FE Abstract Catheter misplacement is a common complication during central vein catheterisation, and during subclavian vein catheterisation, one of the most common misplacements of the catheter is the ipsilateral internal jugular vein. Facing this type of misplacement, we tried to find an ultrasound-guided method to reposition the guidewire during subclavian vein catheterisation in adults.
