ABSTRACT

Objective:

To investigate the emergency treatment and clinical effect when the guidewire stuck in the right atrium during central vein catheter placement for hemodialysis.

Methods:

Five cases with guidewire stuck in the right atrium during central vein catheter placement for hemodialysis from January 2011 to July 2018 admitted into the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University were retrospectively analyzed. In two cases, the guidewires were found completely stuck when the insert depth was about 20 cm. The guidewires were not able to move forward nor backward. In the other three cases, the guidewires could be moved forward but not backward with the insert depth at about 18 cm. All patients received emergent computed tomography angiography (CTA) or digital subtraction angiography (DSA) imaging. Images showed that the guidewires were stuck in the right atrium near the ventricular valve. The guidewire core drawing method, the multipurpose angiography(MPA) catheter capturing method and the manual guidewire adjusting method were used for emergent treatment.

Results:

One patient with completely stuck guidewire was successfully treated with guidewire core drawing method and the temporary central vein catheter catheterization through the internal jugular vein was performed under DSA. In a completely stuck case and a retrogradely stuck case, the J-shaped ends of the warped guidewires were captured into the MPA catheter, and the guidewires were then withdrawn from right atriums along with the contrast catheter. In the other 2 retrogradely stuck cases, under DSA, the guidewires were repeatedly pushed, the direction of J-shaped ends was manually adjusted, and then the guidewires were repeatedly pushed and pulled until catheters can be pulled out of the right atriums. The later 4 cases had permanent central vein catheter placement with the same guidewire after the stuck guidewires were withdrawn from the right atrium and readjusted.

Conclusions:

All three methods can successfully solve the emergent situation of the stuck guidewire in the right atrium. For patients with completely stuck guidewires, the MPA catheter capturing method can be simpler, safer, and more effective.
