• W2046525989 abstract "We present the case of a patient with an iatrogenic injury to the superior vena cava during a central venous catheter placement. The vena cava was perforated when a left subclavian dialysis catheter was placed. The perforation in the right side of the vena cava occurred at the confluence of the innominate veins. This perforation was successfully repaired using a 10 mm Viabahn stent graft (W. L. Gore, Flagstaff, Ariz) delivered through a femoral approach. The stent graft was deployed as the dialysis catheter was removed. This case demonstrates the utility of stent graft repair of the superior vena cava in emergency situations. We present the case of a patient with an iatrogenic injury to the superior vena cava during a central venous catheter placement. The vena cava was perforated when a left subclavian dialysis catheter was placed. The perforation in the right side of the vena cava occurred at the confluence of the innominate veins. This perforation was successfully repaired using a 10 mm Viabahn stent graft (W. L. Gore, Flagstaff, Ariz) delivered through a femoral approach. The stent graft was deployed as the dialysis catheter was removed. This case demonstrates the utility of stent graft repair of the superior vena cava in emergency situations. Iatrogenic venous injuries can occur during placement of central venous catheters. Among these, perforation of the superior vena cava may result in massive hemorrhage and hemodynamic instability. We present the case of a patient who developed a right hemothorax after a central venous catheter placement. Vascular surgery consultation was requested for management of the superior venal caval injury. This injury was successfully repaired using a stent graft. The patient recovered uneventfully. The patient is a 54-year-old woman with a history of hepatitis C and hemachromatosis who underwent orthotopic liver transplantation in 1998. She was recently readmitted to the hospital for hepatorenal failure. The patient underwent a left subclavian vein tunneled hemodialysis catheter placement by her primary team. The surgeon did not report experiencing any difficulty during insertion of the dialysis catheter. Postoperative chest x-ray obtained in the recovery room demonstrated total opacification of the right chest and perforation of the superior vena cava by the catheter (Fig 1). Vascular surgery consultation was requested for management of the superior venal caval injury. The patient became hemodynamically unstable in the recovery room requiring multiple blood transfusions. She was emergently taken to the endovascular suite. A right tube thoracostomy was performed. Approximately 1 liter of blood was evacuated. Next, right common femoral venous access was obtained. A diagnostic venogram was performed. Extravasation of contrast was noted at the confluence of the innominate veins (Fig 2). The superior vena cava measured 8 mm in diameter at the level of the injury. The decision was made to proceed with an endovascular repair. The right groin sheath was exchanged for an 11F sheath. A 10 mm x 50 mm Viabahn stent graft (W. L. Gore, Flagstaff, Ariz) was positioned at the level of the injury. The stent graft was deployed as the hemodialysis catheter was removed simultaneously. Post deployment angioplasty was performed using a 10 mm x 4 cm balloon. Completion venogram showed successful exclusion of the injury (Fig 3). The patient recovered uneventfully. She had no facial or upper extremity swelling. A follow-up bilateral upper extremity venous Doppler performed 3 weeks postoperatively did not show any evidence of deep venous thrombosis.Fig 2Diagnostic venogram showing extravasation of contrast from the superior vena cava.View Large Image Figure ViewerDownload Hi-res image Download (PPT)Fig 3Completion venogram showing successful exclusion of the injury using a stent graft.View Large Image Figure ViewerDownload Hi-res image Download (PPT) Injury to the superior vena cava can be associated with hemodynamic instability, hemothorax, and pericardial tamponade. This is a potentially fatal complication if not recognized and treated promptly. Open repair requires a median sternotomy. Balloon angioplasty and stent placement has been described for treatment of various disease processes that give rise to superior vena cava syndrome.1Dondelinger R.F. Goffette P. Kurdzeil J. Roche A.

Challenging cases: superior vena cava rupture.Endovasc Today. 2003; 2: 11-13Google Scholar This injury occurred after angioplasty for treatment of superior vena cava syndrome. The patient reportedly became “apneic and pulseless” after balloon inflation. A venogram was then performed to diagnose the injury. This was then repaired using a 10 mm by 50 mm Wallgraft (Boston Scientific Corporation, Natick, Mass). Endovascular repair has also been used for emergency repair of the inferior vena cava.12Castelli P. Caronno R. Piffaretti G. Tozzi M.

Caronno R. Piffaretti G. Tozzi M. Emergency endovascular repair for traumatic injury of the inferior vena cava.Eur J Cardiothorac Surg. 2005; 28: 906-908Crossref PubMed Scopus (51) Google Scholar To our knowledge, this is the second reported case of an emergency stent graft repair of an iatrogenic superior vena caval injury. In contrast to the previously reported case, this injury occurred during placement of a dialysis catheter. Our patient was a poor candidate for open surgery due to acute hepatorenal failure. Endovascular repair permitted rapid sealing of the perforation with minimal morbidity. In surgically unfit patients or those with hemodynamic instability, endovascular intervention provides a viable option. Performing this procedure in an endovascular operating room allows for rapid conversion to open repair should that become necessary. A few technical points deserve mention. An expeditiously performed venogram can help identify the exact location of the injury and guide the selection of a properly sized device. In this case, the superior vena cava measured 8 mm in diameter at the level of the injury. A 10 mm x 50 mm stent graft was selected to allow for slight oversizing. Interestingly, the same size stent graft was also used by Burket.3Burket M.W. Challenging cases: superior vena cava rupture.Endovasc Today. 2003; 2: 11-13Google Scholar A smaller length device was not available for use during this case. The injury could have been potentially sealed with a 25 mm length graft. Placing a longer length graft at the confluence of the innominate veins carries the risk of occlusion of one of the two branches. This could potentially lead to thrombosis of the upper extremity veins. We closely monitored the patient postoperatively for upper extremity swelling. Fortunately, she remained asymptomatic. A follow-up bilateral upper extremity venous Doppler performed 3 weeks postoperatively did not show any evidence of deep venous thrombosis. This case demonstrates the utility of stent graft repair for management of iatrogenic superior vena caval injuries. This technique affords control of often exsanguinating hemorrhage in a very rapid fashion. It is especially valuable in patients who are poor surgical candidates. However, the long-term patency of stent grafts in the venous system remains to be determined. Follow-up surveillance studies would be useful to monitor the patency of these implants." @default.
