Abstract
|
|
|
|
Recently, the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation has evolved rapidly and there is potential for expanding its use. There are many complications associated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, but the fracture of a guidewire has been reported to be very rare during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation insertion. We describe our experience of successfully removing a fractured 0.038-inch guidewire using a catheter wedge with balloon inflation following a fracture that occurred during insertion of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation through the left femoral vein.
