  • Title: Delayed onset of hemothorax: an unusual complication of subclavian access for hemodialysis.
    Author: Waldman RP, Donner M, Bilsky AC, Stom MC, Narins RG.
    Journal: Nephron; 1984; 37(4):270-2. PubMed ID: 6462315.
    Abstract:
    Subclavian catheterization for acute hemodialysis has become routine in many institutions. Immediate complications of this technique are dramatic and easily recognized, whereas late complications are less common, frequently insidious and tend to be more severe. We report the delayed occurrence of a right hemothorax following two hemodialysis treatments with a left subclavian access. Pertinent literature is reviewed.
