Kontralateral subklavian kateterizasyonu nedeniyle iatrojenik hemotoraks

Subclavian vein catheterization offers a quick and safe method that is performed for acute or short term hemodialysis. The technique has been associated with very many complications (1). A 44-year-old female patient suffering from chronic renal failure was admitted for urgent haemodialysis catheter access due to haemodialysis graft infection. After left subclavian vein catheterization, haemodialysis was initiated. Immediately after the haemodialysis onset, the patient felt chest pain and shortness of breath, and for this reason haemodialysis was discontinued. Chest X-ray was revealed large right pleural effusion and abnormal position of catheter tip. Contrast media was given through left subclavian catheter to make sure regarding the catheter tip perforated into right thorax. Upon chest X-ray was taken after contrast injection, we found contrast image in the right thorax. After withdrawing the left subclavian vein catheter, we inserted chest tube through right thorax and approximately 2200 cc blood was drained. Contralateral haemothorax was revealed and the patient was haemodynamically stabled.
