Abstract
|
|
|
|
We report a case of subclavian artery laceration caused by the removal of a pigtail pleural drainage catheter in a patient with a pneumothorax.The patient was successfully resuscitated through diagnostic angiography with subsequent balloon occlusion and primaryrepair of the injured subclavian artery. Although pigtail drainage of a pneumothorax is known to be safe and effective, proper insertionand removal techniques should be emphasized to reduce the risk of complications.
