Successful endovascular management of inadvertent catheterization of subclavian artery
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.
