Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the rare but significant risk of inadvertent vertebral artery cannulation during internal jugular vein catheterization.
Lim et al. (2013) conducted a case report in Inadvertent artery puncture during internal jugular vein cannulation (n=1). Internal jugular vein cannulation with a Vas Cath dialysis catheter was evaluated on Inadvertent vertebral artery cannulation. An unsuspected case of vertebral artery cannulation with a dialysis catheter occurred during internal jugular vein cannulation and was discovered during open surgical retrieval.
