There was no pericardial effusion. Abdominal ultra-sonography revealed bilateral normal size kidneys with plications, lymphatic injury, lymph leak increased echogenicity. The patient was started on maintenance haemodia-lysis. A double lumen haemodialysis catheter was

Mediastinal haematoma is a rare complication following insertion of central venous catheter, with few cases reported in the literature. We report a case of mediastinal haematoma in a 33-year-old male patient with end-stage renal disease. In this patient central venous catheter insertion through the right subclavian vein was attempted on the operation table for renal transplantation but the proc...

We report the occurrence of a bilateral pneumothoraces after unilateral central venous catheterization of the right subclavian vein in a 70-year-old patient. The patient had no history of pulmonary or pleural disease and no history of cardiothoracic surgery. Two days earlier, she had a median laparotomy under general and epidural anaesthesia. Prior to the procedure, the patient was hemodynamica...

Case report A 44-year-old man was admitted to the Casualty Department following a severe haematemesis. He was unconscious, apnoeic, had a barely detectable pulse and an irrecordable blood pressure. Intravenous infusions were started in the left subclavian vein and both long saphenous veins. An oral endotracheal tube was inserted and artificial ventilation commenced with 100% oxygen. He was tran...

The success of any trans-venous procedure involves the rate liming step, which is access. cannot be performed without access site. It key that open procedure. There are many procedures require extra-thoracic subclavian vein. These may include: central venous pressure monitoring, administration multiple medications and drips, high volume/flow resuscitation, emergency access, inability to obtain ...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to analyze the results of children treated with hemodialysis (HD) at Severance Hospital over 35 years in terms of incidence, etiologies, characteristics, complications, and clinical outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed 46 children admitted to Severance Hospital who had undergone HD between January 1979 and December 2013. RESULTS The main etiologies o...

Ultrasound-guided cannulation of a central venous catheter into the internal jugular vein (IJV) was performed in the intensive care unit for a critically ill patient. The catheter was inserted into the subclavian artery distally, despite prior ultrasound confirmation of the guidewire position using both the in-plane and out-of-plane views. The catheter was removed successfully by the interventi...

Paget-Schroetter syndrome is thrombosis of the axillary-subclavian vein that is associated with strenuous and repetitive activity of the upper extremities. Overuse of the arm coupled with external compression results in microtrauma in the intima of the subclavian vein, resulting in the activation of the coagulation cascade. Diagnosis is usually made by Doppler ultrasound and the treatment invol...

reduced lead-related complication rate due to the use of one instead of two leads [8]. Despite a significant reduction in the atrial pacing threshold achieved by integrating the OLBI principle into single-lead DDD systems, several studies reported on a still relatively high incidence of atrial capture failure using the free floating atrial electrodes [9-14]. Since the ability to pace the atrium...

The iatrogenic subclavian artery injury is a rare but potentially serious complication of vein cannulation. use endovascular techniques an alternative to surgical repair especially in patients with concomitant diseases whom immediate, large surgery would be associated high risk perioperative complications. This article discusses technical aspects implantation covered stents based on two cases. ...
