Subclavian artery- internal jugular vein fistula and heart failure: complication of internal jugular vein catheterization.

Hemodialysis in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requires vascular access which can be either temporary or permanent. However, these procedures are not without complications. Arterial puncture is the most common immediate complication and pseudoaneurysm formation is the most common late sequel of internal jugular venous catheterization (IJVC). However, arterio-venous fistula (AVF) f...

Complications of central venous catheters: internal jugular versus subclavian access--a systematic review.

OBJECTIVE To test whether complications happen more often with the internal jugular or the subclavian central venous approach. DATA SOURCE Systematic search (MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, bibliographies) up to June 30, 2000, with no language restriction. STUDY SELECTION Reports on prospective comparisons of internal jugular vs. subclavian catheter insertion, with dichotomous data on co...

Internal jugular vein occlusion test for rapid diagnosis of misplaced subclavian vein catheter into the internal jugular vein.

BACKGROUND During subclavian vein catheterization, the most common misplacement of the catheter is cephalad, into the ipsilateral internal jugular vein (IJV). This can be detected by chest radiography. However, after any repositioning of the catheter, subsequent chest radiography is required. In an effort to simplify the detection of a misplaced subclavian vein catheter, the authors assessed a ...
