RESUMEN
Entrapment of guidewires by inferior vena cava filters can occur during the blind insertion of a jugular or a subclavian central venous catheter. Recently, few case reports have been published in the radiology literature. In addition, others have described endovascular techniques aimed at removing entrapped guidewires, avoiding the possibility of vena cava rupture. Given that a temporary hemodialysis venous catheter is frequently used as a first access, the possibility of entrapping the dialysis catheter guidewire should not be neglected.
