title: Hand gangrene following unsuccessful cannulation of the internal jugular vein: a case report and literature review.
abstract: Hand gangrene following vascular cannula placement is uncommon and is usually the result of thrombotic occlusion of an artery. We describe a case of hand gangrene resulting in wrist disarticulation, following multiple unsuccessful attempts at internal jugular vein cannulation in a critically ill patient.
