Central venous catheters (CVCs) are commonly used in patients with trauma. The placement and removal of the CVCs can result in various complications regardless of the skill of the professionals. Herein, two cases of rare complications are presented— an inadvertent subclavian artery catheterization and a cerebral air embolism after a CVC removal. Moreover, practical solutions for each complication are provided in detail.

Central venous catheterization is a common diagnostic and therapeutic procedure in modern clinical practice. Pseudoaneurysms of the subclavian artery are rare and usually occur immediately after the causative event, whether the cause was trauma or a medical procedure. Here, we report a case of a 71-year-old woman with delayed presentation of catheter-related subclavian pseudoaneurysm. The patient’s symptoms began two weeks after the initial catheterization, probably because of slow leakage of blood from the injured subclavian artery caused by incomplete compression of the puncture site and uremic coagulopathy. She was successfully treated with ultrasound-guided thrombin and angiography-guided histoacryl injection without stent insertion or surgery. Keywords: butyl 2-cyanacrylate; pseudoaneurysm; subclavian; thrombin.
