[Thrombosis of the right internal jugular vein caused by a catheter in the subclavian vein. A complication precluding the insertion of a ventriculo-atrial cerebrospinal fluid shunt].
The Authors describe a case of right internal jugular vein thrombosis caused by a catheter in the subclavian vein which occurred in a four-month-old baby with chronic subdural hematomas. They emphasize that this thrombotic complication precludes the insertion of a ventriculo-cardiac shunt and point out the opportunity to prefer left subclavian cannulation in those patients who probably will need a ventriculo-cardiac shunt.
