ABSTRACT
Recently, the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation has evolved rapidly and there is potential for expanding its use. There are many complications associated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, but the fracture of a guidewire has been reported to be very rare during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation insertion. We describe our experience of successfully removing a fractured 0.038-inch guidewire using a catheter wedge with balloon inflation following a fracture that occurred during insertion of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation through the left femoral vein.
