ABSTRACT
The anesthesiology literature does not describe entrapment of a guidewire by an inferior vena caval filter. Because anesthesiologists are involved in central access in various perioperative and intraoperative settings, consideration of this complication is important. A case of guidewire entrapment by an inferior vena caval filter and a unique technique for removal of the entrapped wire is presented.
