Abstract
The anesthesiology literature does not describe entrapment of a guidewire b y an inferior vena caval filter. Because anesthesiologists are involved in central access in various perioperative and intraoperative settings, consid eration of this complication is important. A case of guidewire entrapment b y an inferior vena caval filter and a unique technique for removal of the e ntrapped wire is presented. (C) 1999 by Elsevier Science Inc.
