[Late complications of catheterization of the subclavian vein]
Abstract:
Percutaneous subclavian venous cannulation has now become a routine procedure in anaesthesia and intensive care. Its early complications are well-known, but its delayed complications, somewhat rarer, remain often undiagnosed. A case is reported of a 32 year old man who presented with a subclavian arterial pseudo-aneurysm associated with a recurrent nerve palsy some 18 months after undergoing major trauma in a car crash. The post-traumatic origin of this complication is discussed. It was probably due to percutaneous venous cannulation, which led to a subclavian arterial lesion.
