  • Title: Acute upper limb ischemia as a complication of tunneled hemodialysis catheter placement via the right internal jugular vein.
    Author: Topcu AC.
    Journal: J Vasc Access; 2022 Nov; 23(6):956-958. PubMed ID: 33960238.
    Abstract:
    Arterial injury during internal jugular vein cannulation can cause devastating complications such as stroke, hematoma, hemothorax, pseudoaneurysm, AV fistula, or even death. Acute upper limb ischemia caused by inadvertent arterial puncture during internal jugular vein cannulation has been rarely reported. The present report describes the case of a patient who experienced right upper limb ischemia caused by subclavian artery thrombosis developed during attempted placement of a tunneled hemodialysis catheter via the right internal jugular vein. The patient underwent an emergency brachial embolectomy and recovered uneventfully.
