Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Most frequently central venous catheterisation complications described in literature are: haematoma at the insertion site, pneumothorax, arterial puncture, thrombosis and infection. We report a case of 56-year-old man with giant liposarcoma of the thigh undergoing a hip disarticulation procedure who presented an unusual complication of central venous catheterization of the left internal jugular vein which is malposition on the subclavian vein of contralateral side. We discuss possible mechanisms, associated risks, and the means to prevent such complication.
