Rate Of Success

Frequently patients are started on hemodialysis after the placement of a central venous catheter (temporary or tunneled) in the internal jugular vein (IJV). Currenty this procedure is facilitated by ultrasound probes that improve the rate of success of catheter placement in vessels and diminishes the possible complications, minimizing the gap between nephrologists with wide surgical expertise and those with limited surgical experience. Stenosis and thrombosis of the subclavia vein are well documented complications derived from the placement of the venous catheter. Internal jugular vein thrombosis is not seen very often due to scarce clinical evidence. In our paper we have been able to systematically document various extrinsic thrombotic complications outside the central venous catheter, by use of ultrasound (periluminar or related to the vessel).

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.

Vascular Ultrasonography

Central venous catheterization is of common practice in intensive care units; despite representing an essential device in various clinical circumstances, it represents a source of complications, sometimes even fatal, related to its management. We report the removal of a central venous catheter (CVC) that had been wrongly positioned through left internal jugular vein. The vein presented complete thrombosis at vascular ultrasonography. An echocardiogram performed 24 hours after CVC removal showed the presence, apparently unjustified, of microbubbles in right chambers of the heart. A neck-thorax CT scan showed the presence of air bubbles within the left internal jugular vein, left innominate vein, and left subclavian vein. A vascular ultrasonography, focused on venous catheter insertion site, disclosed the presence of a vein-to-dermis fistula, as portal of air entry. Only after air occlusive dressing, we documented echographic disappearance of air bubbles within the right cardiac cavity. This report emphasizes possible air entry even many hours after CVC removal, making it mandatory to perform 24–72-hour air occlusive dressing or, when inadequate, to perform a purse string.
