“…The estimated incidence of AV fistula formation is 0.2% for IJ and 0.6% for SC catheterization attempts and can lead to symptomatic intracranial hypertension [5,26]. Pseudoaneurysms are a recognized complication associated with arterial cannulation or rupture of a mediastinal vein during CVC placement [4,33,34]. The incidence of this rare complication is not defined in the literature.…”

The placement of central venous catheters (CVC) is a common medical procedure and adjunct to current medical therapy. With millions of CVC placed yearly in the United States, complications occur. It is important to be aware of the potential immediate and long term complications associated with this procedure. In this chapter, a representative case of retained CVC guidewire is presented. Provider experience, appropriate patient selection and insertion technique can minimize the risk of immediate complication in most cases. A brief discussion of CVC complications with emphasis on guidewire malfunction is presented along with management and retrieval options.

“…Internal mammary artery pseudoaneurysm are a rare complication of sternotomy procedures, central venous catheter placement, and pacemaker placement [ 1 2 3 ] They have also been reported in the setting of vasculitides and connective tissue disorders [ 4 5 ]. It important to diagnose and treat pseudoaneurysm of the internal mammary artery because life-threatening conditions, such as hemothorax, may develop [ 6 ].…”

A 71-year-old female presented to the emergency room eight weeks status post open heart surgery for aortic valve replacement with right-sided chest wall pain and swelling. Computed tomographic (CT) angiography demonstrated a hyperattenuating structure arising from the right internal mammary artery surrounded by a heterogeneously-attenuating fluid collection in the anterior right chest wall, compatible with a right internal mammary artery pseudoaneurysm with surrounding chest wall hematoma. Follow up color Doppler ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis. Under direct ultrasound visualization, we injected four hundred units of thrombin into the neck of the pseudoaneurysm using a 25-gauge spinal needle. Post-injection imaging demonstrated a successful cessation of flow within the pseudoaneurysm sac.
