Ultrasound (USG) guidance has long been used for guiding central venous catheterization. USG provides direct visualization of needle puncture through the skin into the vein. Most of the time USG guidance is just limited to puncturing of the vein and seeing guidewire entering the vein while malpositioning of catheter occurs after that which is seen later on while checking chest radiograph. Repos...

Pacemaker lead malpositioning may lead to severe clinical adverse events. Rarely, cases of inadvertent placement of a lead into the left ventricle are reported in the literature. We herein report a case of pacemaker lead malpositioning into the left ventricle via a persistent foramen ovale in a male caucasian patient. After this procedural adverse event, the patient suffered from two ischemic s...

BACKGROUND In patients with panfacial fractures and distorted anatomic landmarks of zygomatic and orbital complex, there is a risk of zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) malpositioning even with the best efforts for surgical repair. This results in increased number of additional procedures to achieve accurate positioning. METHODS We describe the usage of intraoperative C-arm cone-beam computed ...

Central Venous Catheters insertion is a very common procedure performed at the operation room and Intensive Care Unit. In paediatric population they are frequently used to administer fluids, blood products, resuscitation drugs, parenteral nutrition chemotherapy. One of reported complications, though less commonly described one, inappropriate position tip CVC in vessel other than superior vena c...

The KT-1000 arthrometer was evaluated in vitro and in vivo to determine accuracy and quantify effects of potential error sources in clinical application. The KT-1000 arthrometer in vitro accuracy was evaluated by making 30 measurements of 13 known displacements (range, +15 to -15 mm). The effect of applied force on malalignment measurements was evaluated in vitro by making repeated measurements...

Placement of long term central venous access devices (CVAD) such as chemo ports and Hickman's catheters are associated with a definite risk of catheter tip malpositioning. As such, malpositioning runs a risk of venous thrombosis and related complications; it is imperative to reposition the catheter. Percutaneous transfemoral venous approach has been described as a minimally invasive and safe me...
