    Author: Chan CC, Lee V, Chu W, Tam YH, Li CK, Shing MM.

    Abstract:
    Central venous catheterization is essential in the management of patients requiring long-term intravenous access. Various risks during central line insertion have been described in the medical literature, including the potentially life-threatening complication of iatrogenic arteriovenous fistula (AVF). We describe a novel case of carotid jugular AVF following implanted port (BardPort® by C.R. Bard, Inc.) insertion in a pediatric oncology patient who had suffered cerebral infarct due to thromboembolism. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2012; 59: 1302-1304. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
