Subclavian artery injury following percutaneous insertion of dialysis catheter

S C Stoica et al. Rev Med Chir Soc Med Nat Iasi. 1998 Jul-Dec.

Abstract

Iatrogenic subclavian artery injury is a rare but recognized complication of central venous catheterization. The lesion is more severe and complex to treat when produced by large catheters such as dialysis catheters. A case is presented below with a discussion of vascular access for renal replacement therapy and the principles of treating penetrating arterial trauma at this location.
