Subclavian vein catheterizations: a prospective study.
(11) Catheters inserted in the jugular vein are more prone to colonization than those inserted in the
subclavian vein. This may be related to factors that favor colonization of the skin next to jugular vein, e.g., oropharyngeal secretions, increased temperature, difficulties in catheter immobilization and dressing.
His surgery was performed 2 weeks after the initial presentation, and included the above-mentioned treatment and a saphenous vein graft to anastamose the
subclavian vein. Unfortunately, several intraoperative complications were encountered including a laceration of the pleura, haemothorax, on-table severe bradycardia presumed to be caused by a pulmonary embolus and requiring resuscitation, and severing of the phrenic nerve.

Subclavian vein catheterization can cause central venous stenosis, which can make it impossible to use that side of the body for hemodialysis access--cutting the patient's access choices in half.
It then continues up under the left brachiocephalic vein, feeding into the venous circulation at or near the junction of the internal jugular and left
subclavian veins at the base of the neck (4).
She had a history of permanent transvenous DDD-R guidant multiprogrammed pacemaker implantation via right
subclavian vein due to total AV block 8 years ago.
This is a line designed to begin in the peripheral vein and that ends up in the central circulation (either the
subclavian vein or the superior vena cava).
His medical history was contributory for sickle cell anemia and repair several years earlier of an aortic coarctation secondary to Shone syndrome, consisting of coarctation of aorta, parachute deformity of mitral valve, aortic stenosis, and persistent left
subclavian vein. Yearly pediatric cardiology follow-up examinations showed no symptoms of heart disease and a normally active child.

It then descends diagonally, superficial to the sternocleidomastoid muscle to reach the
subclavian vein (Standring et al.).
A port was placed into the left
subclavian vein; this was followed by hoarseness and a left vocal fold paralysis confirmed on endoscopy.
subclavian vein - a continuation of the axillary vein; joins the internal jugular to form the brachiocephalic vein
