  • Title: Use of a percutaneous vascular suture device for closure of an inadvertent subclavian artery puncture.
    Author: Fraizer MC, Chu WW, Gudjonsson T, Wolff MR.
    Journal: Catheter Cardiovasc Interv; 2003 Jul; 59(3):369-71. PubMed ID: 12822162.
    Abstract:
    A well-known complication of central venous catheterization is inadvertent arterial sheath placement. Sheath removal from noncompressible arteries has the potential for severe complications. We report a case of inadvertent subclavian arterial sheath placement during an attempted internal jugular venous catheterization. This was successfully removed using a percutaneous vascular suture device.
