Brachial Arteriovenous Fistula as a Complication of Placement of a Peripherally Inserted Central Venous Catheter: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Abstract: Peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC) lines have become a frequently used method of intravenous access for long-term administration of antibiotics, chemotherapy, and parenteral nutrition. Catheter-related complications involving the arterial tree are rare. We report a case of a 25-year-old woman with a history of difficult PICC line placement that presented with an arteriovenous fistula in the left arm. Duplex ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis of a brachial artery-to-brachial vein arteriovenous… Show more

“…Bu olguda, ilk başvuruda acil hekiminin hastada yabancı cisimin brakial artere yakınlığını göz önüne almaması ve damar yaralanması şüphesini tam ekarte etmemiş olması A-V fistül oluşumuna zemin hazırlamıştır. Kolda yabancı cisimle gelen hastanın fistül cerrahisine ihtiyaç duymasının önlenmesi için bu komplikasyonun gelişebileceği göz önünde tutulmalıdır (4). Damar lokalizasyonuna yakın olan bölgelerdeki penetran yaralanmalarda ekstremite nabız muayenesinde bulgu olmasa da; eksplorasyon yapılmayacaksa arteriyel yaralanma riskinin tam olarak ekartasyonu gereklidir (4).…”

“…Systematic review and meta-analysis studies indicate a 2.7% risk of venous thromboembolism associated with the use of PICCs [1]. Complications associated with trauma to vessels or nerves adjacent to deep veins punctured for PICC placement are rare, but can result in signi icant injuries to the patient [2,3], including increasing the risk of infection and venous thrombosis.…”
