Central venous catheter placement is a common procedure in intensive care settings. However, it can be associated with certain complications, including guidewire migration—a rare but potentially serious event. This complication highlights the importance of precise anatomical knowledge and strict adherence to procedural protocols, ideally performed by an experienced operator. We report here a case of guidewire migration that occurred during central venous catheterization.
