Abstract

In the case presented an intravenous line for large volume infusion rates was to be placed in a patient with an aortic aneurysm during clinical preoperative care. After a high-flow catheter had been placed without any problems retraction of the guide wire was found to be impossible. Computer tomography revealed that the reason was a kink in the catheter resulting in the guide wire being nipped off. Fortunately both catheter and guide wire could be removed completely without any further complications.
