Abstract

Central vascular accesses are very useful tools for the treatment and diagnosis of various medical conditions such as the administration of drugs and solutions, chemotherapy, hemodialysis, hemodynamic monitoring. A review of the clinical record of a 59-year-old patient treated at a tertiary hospital was performed. We presented the case of a patient with vascular lesion of the brachiocephalic truncus arteriosus derived from the placement of a dialysis catheter. Vascular access placement is a routine procedure in many critical patient services, however it is important to know in detail the vascular anatomy and surgical technique to reduce the risk of complications.
