Therapeutic embolization of an internal mammary artery damaged by placement of a central venous catheter

G. Abbott and P. Evans

Department of Radiology, Countess of Chester Hospital, Liverpool Road, Chester CH2 1UL, UK*Corresponding author

We describe the embolization of a left internal mammary artery damaged by left internal jugular venous catheterization. Because potentially serious complications can occur with a blind approach for central venous catheterization, portable ultrasound machines should be used more often to ensure correct placement of the catheter.
