Abstract

Life-threatening complications of subclavian central venous access are rare. Herein a case of inadvertent subclavian artery catheterization and subsequent percutaneous arterial repair with use of the Prostar XL suture-mediated closure device and temporary balloon tamponade is reported. This approach obviated a complex surgical intervention that would have required medial clavicle resection.
