Abstract
Inadvertent subclavian artery injury during internal jugular cannulation is a rare but potentially severe complication, resulting in the development of hematoma, hemothorax, pseudoaneurysm or arteriovenous fistula. Endovascular repair of such injuries is a safe and reasonable treatment option with lower morbidity and mortality compared to open surgical approach. Herein a case of right subclavian artery laceration resulting in massive hemothorax as a complication of the insertion of a double-lumen hemodialysis catheter into the right internal jugular vein, managed by endovascular stent-graft placement is reported.
