    This is a case report of perforation by Seldinger's catheter leader into pericardial sack. The leader was inserted contrary-wise++ to the subclavian vein with the sharp end in front. The leader moved forward toward the venous system and perforated into the pericardial sack. The preceding steroid therapy which the patient had undergone due to asthmatic status resulted in mediastinitis after the primary surgery. Right technique of reoperation and intensive postoperative care led to patient recovery.
