Vascular Procedures and Complications

A technique of subclavian vein catheterization is described, which precludes any significant complication when correctly performed. All the complications reported in this series of over 600 cases followed deviations from the standard technique and need not have occurred. As experience and confidence are achieved, the method can be extended in its application to a wide variety of circumstances, promoting improved patient care and comfort .
