  • Title: Cardiac perforation by a guide wire during subclavian catheter insertion.
    Author: Blake PG, Uldall R.
    Journal: Int J Artif Organs; 1989 Feb; 12(2):111-3. PubMed ID: 2707904.
    Abstract:
    We report a patient in whom cardiac perforation was directly caused by a straight soft tipped guide wire used to introduce a subclavian dialysis catheter. We recommend the use of J tip guide wires to avoid this life threatening complication.
