Endovascular Repair of Inadvertent Arterial Injury Induced by Central Venous Catheterization Using a Vascular Closure Device: A Case Report

Abstract

Central venous catheterization can cause various complications. Inadvertent subclavian artery catheterization was performed during insertion of a central venous catheter in a 73-year-old man suffering from panperitonitis due to small-bowel perforation. Endovascular treatment was conducted to treat the injured subclavian artery with a FemoSeal vascular closure device.
