  • Perforation of the Great Vessels During Central Venous Line Placement
    Arch Intern Med. 1995 Jun 12;155(11):1225-8. Perforation of the great vessels during central venous line placement. Robinson JF1, Robinson WA, Cohn A, Garg K, Armstrong JD 2nd. Author information Abstract BACKGROUND: Placement of central venous lines for the administration of a variety of therapies has become common practice. The most severe complication of this procedure is perforation of a large vessel, with bleeding, infusion of fluids into an extravascular site, and death. It is not clear from currently available data how often this occurs, what risk factors are associated, and how this complication can be avoided. METHODS: We reviewed the records of all patients who were identified as having perforation of a major vessel during central venous line placement occurring between 1986 and 1993 at the University Hospital, the major teaching facility of the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Denver. Data collected included the age and sex of the patient, diagnosis, type of catheter and site of placement, operator means and time to the diagnosis of perforation, and outcome. RESULTS: Eleven such complications were identified and 10 of them are reviewed in detail. The overall incidence was less than 1%. Most complications occurred when the right subclavian vein approach was attempted, and they were thought to result from guidewire kinking during advancement of a vessel dilator. All medical specialties and levels of training were involved. Four of 10 patients died of immediate or subsequent complications of the perforation. CONCLUSIONS: Perforation of a great vessel is an uncommon, but often fatal, complication of central venous line placement.

  • Brachial Approach As an Alternative Technique of Fibrin Sheath Removal for Implanted Venous Access Devices
    CASE REPORT published: 10 April 2017 doi: 10.3389/fsurg.2017.00020 Brachial Approach As an Alternative Technique of Fibrin Sheath Removal for Implanted Venous Access Devices Charalampos Sotiriadis*, Steven David Hajdu, Francesco Doenz and Salah D. Qanadli Lausanne University Hospital, Lausanne, Switzerland Implanted venous access device (IVAD) late dysfunction is commonly caused by fibrin sheath formation. The standard method of endovascular fibrin sheath removal is per- formed via the femoral vein. However, it is not always technically feasible and sometimes contraindicated. Moreover, approximately 4–6 h of bed rest is necessary after the proce- dure. In this article, we describe an alternative method of fibrin sheath removal using the brachial vein approach in a young woman receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer. The right basilic vein was punctured, and a long 6°F introducer sheath was advanced into the right subclavian vein. Endovascular maneuvers consisted on advancing Atrieve™ Edited by: Vascular Snare 15–9 mm after catheter insertion in the superior vena cava through a Konstantinos A.
