The frequency of placing a central venous catheter (CVC) has increased and it is often performed in emergency situation for venous access. During such an emergency and placing without imaging guidance, sometimes inadvertent placement of CVC in subclavian artery (SCA) can occur. We hereby describe an unusual case of successful endovascular management of inadvertently inserted CVC in SCA by covered stent graft placement along with proper clinical context to manage a case of misplaced venous catheter in left SCA.

Background: Achieving a reliable venous access in a particular subset of patients and/or in emergency settings can be challenging and time-consuming. Furthermore, many hospitalized patients do not meet the criteria for central venous catheter positioning, unless an upgrade of the treatment is further needed. The mini-midline catheter has already showed to be reliable and safe as a stand-alone device, since it is easily and rapidly inserted and can indwell up to 1 month. Methods: In this further case series, we retrospectively evaluated data from 63 patients where a previously inserted mini-midline catheter was upgraded to a central venous catheter (the devices inserted in the arm replaced by peripherally inserted central catheter and others inserted “off-label” in the internal jugular replaced by single lumen centrally inserted central catheter), being used as introducer for the Seldinger guidewire. Results: The guidewire replacement was been made even early (after 1 day) or late (more than 10 days), usually following a need for an upgrade in treatment. No early or late complications were reported. Conclusion: According to the preliminary data we collected, this converting procedure seems to be feasible and risk-free, since neither infectious nor thrombotic complications were reported.

Gain Access

Central venous catheters are used for various purposes in the operating room. Generally, the use of ultrasound to insert a central venous catheter is rapid and minimally complicated. An advanced venous access (AVA) catheter is used to gain access to the pulmonary artery and facilitate fluid resuscitation through the internal jugular vein. The present report describes a case in which ultrasound was used in a 43-year-old man to avoid complications during insertion of an AVA catheter with a relatively large diameter. The sheath of the catheter was so thin that a dilator was essential to prevent it from folding upon insertion. Despite the use of ultrasound guidance, the AVA catheter sheath became folded within the patient’s internal jugular vein. Mechanical complications of central venous catheter insertion are well known, but folding of a large-bore catheter in the internal jugular vein has rarely been reported.

Dc Cardioversion

Though a common procedure, central venous access is related to morbidity and mortality of patients. Common cardiac complications caused by central venous catheters include premature atrial and ventricular contractions. But development of atrial fibrillation with haemodynamic instability is quite rare. We are reporting a patient who developed atrial fibrillation with hypotension while inserting central venous catheter through right subclavian vein by landmark technique. Patient was managed with DC cardioversion. Careful insertion of central venous catheter & prompt management of its complication is crucial to avoid catastrophe.

The Impact

Central venous catheter (CVC)-related infections are a major problem for patients requiring long-term venous access and may result in frequent hospital admissions and difficulties in maintaining central venous access. CVC-related blood stream infections are associated with increased duration of inpatient stay and cost approximately \#8364;13 585 per patient [Blot, S. I., Depuydt, P., Annemans, L., Benoit, D., Hoste, E., De Waele, J. J., Decruyenaere, J., Vogelaers, D., Colardyn, F. & Vandewoude, K. H. (2005). Clin Infect Dis 41, 1591–1598]. Antimicrobial lock therapy may prevent CVC-related blood stream infection, preserve central venous access and reduce hospital admissions. In this paper, the impact of linezolid lock prophylaxis in a patient with short bowel syndrome is described.

Purpose The subclavian vein is thought to be the most appropriate route for central venous access in major maxillofacial surgery. Evidence suggests that left-sided central venous catheters should lie below the carina and be angulated at less than 40° to superior vena cava wall. This reduces perforation risk. With this in mind we audited our current practice for placement of central venous catheters for major maxillofacial surgery. The criteria against which we compared our practice were: 1) all catheter tips should lie below the carina and 2) the angle of the distal 1 cm of the catheter should be no more than 40° to the superior vena cava wall. Methods Left subclavian central venous catheters placed on a weekly operating list between September 2005 and August 2008 were identified retrospectively: 83 patients were identified; 22 were excluded. The angle of the central venous catheter tip and distance from the carina were measured on the first post-procedure chest-X ray. All central venous catheters used were 16 cm long. Results 82% of the catheter tips were located above the carina while 61% were angulated at greater than 40°; 11% of central venous catheters met both standards; 14% of central venous catheters placed by a consultant and 12% of catheters placed by a trainee met both standards. Conclusions 89% of the central venous catheters were not correctly placed. The majority of central venous catheter tips above the carina were at an adverse angle to the superior vena cava wall. We suggest that for left subclavian central lines, 20 cm catheters be used.
