Abstract
Although the insertion of central venous catheters (CVC) is commonly performed especially in intensive care
patients the procedure itself might lead to life-threatening complications such as an iatrogenic arterial injury.
In this case report a case on an inadvertent insertion of CVC through the right internal jugular vein into the
proximal right subclavian artery is presented. After adequate imaging, the injury was sealed with a balloon-
-protected application of a plug-based closure device.
