Abstract
As percutaneous catheterization of central vein has become common procedure, many different complications have been reported. The common complications are infection, hemorrhage, pneumothorax, embolism and vascular injury associated with aneurysm Aneurysm formation of the great vessel like subclavian artery is rare in patients undergoing central venipuncture. And brachial plexus injuries induced by iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm are quite rare. Despite low incidence, this complication account for a large portion of the serious disabilities and may result in debilitating or limb threatening condition if not diagnosed and treated promptly. We experienced the case of brachial plexus compression by subclavian pseudoaneurysm as a complication of subclavian vein catheterization for hemodialysis.
