  • Title: Contralateral hemothorax secondary to chronic subclavian dialysis catheter.
    Author: Kozeny GA, Bansal VK, Vertuno LL, Hano JE.
    Journal: Am J Nephrol; 1984; 4(5):312-4. PubMed ID: 6524602.
    Abstract:
    Subclavian vein catheterization offers a rapid, safe method for providing acute or short term hemodialysis. The technique has been associated with very few complications. 3 patients are described who developed hemothorax several weeks after the placement of a subclavian catheter. Perforation of the superior vena cava by the tip of the cannula could be demonstrated only by the injection of contrast media into the catheter.
