abstract={Central venous catheterization (CVC) is a commonly performed invasive procedure in pre-operative period and for long-term intravenous access. Image-guided CVC has gained importance as it not only helps in reducing number of attempts but also prevents wrong internal jugular vein (IJV) punctures leading to reduced incidence & severity of CVC complications. Lack of availability of image-guidance related infrastructure and competence are responsible for non-image-guided CVC-related complications in developing countries. This article emphasizes the importance of image-guided CVC by discussing a case of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) between a small branch of external carotid artery and internal jugular vein detected in immediate postoperative period following CVC which was performed without image-guidance.},
