Many complications are reported with placement of the central venous catheter. They can be varied and graded as minor/insignificant, self-limiting, and not requiring any intervention to major/serious and requiring urgent intervention to save the life of the patient. Most of them can be minimized with certain precautions, use of aids and improved skill and experience of the operator. We are presenting a case report with such a complication, which is much rarer, happened, even in the hands of a very senior and experienced operator, requiring urgent intervention.
