The cephalic vein, defined as the vein originating in the radial end of the dorsal venous arch, crosses superficial to the anatomical snuffbox and travels upward along the anterior border of the brachioradialis muscle in the forearm [1,2]. It ascends lateral to biceps and between pectoralis major and deltoid muscles, and passes through the infraclavicular fossa, and drains into the axillary vei...

Postoperative recurrence and metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) to the superior vena cava (SVC) right atrium (RA) are rare. The application Extracorporeal Jugular-femoral Vein Bypass anesthesia management for SVC reconstruction in this rare situation holds instructive significance. In case, we describe successful a patient with multiple tumor thrombi due postoperative PTC. diagnosi...

Central venous catheterization is a typical technique performed in the emergency department and intensive care unit. Most subclavian vein access may be inserted without help, using anatomic landmarks alone. This study aimed to present precise procedure of central via endovascular techniques simulation video clip.

Introduction. The catheter "pinch-off syndrome" has been described to be secondary to crimping of the catheter between the clavicle and the first rib, as well as entrapment of the catheter at the site of penetration of the subclavius muscle. The lateral insertion technique has been recommended to prevent catheter pinch-off, but it is unknown if this technique can prevent entrapment by the subcl...

INTRODUCTION In invasive monitoring, subclavian-vein puncture is a routine procedure indicated for central vein cathe-terization. It is indicated in patients according to hospital stay, including the administration of drugs and the treatment of chronic and cardiac disease. The techniques described to date include infraclavicular percutaneous puncture; others place catheters using angiographic m...
