Abstract

This is a case involving a 3-year-old child who presented with an iatrogenic left subclavian/innominate vein lesion, leading to severe bleeding and intravascular catheter rupture during its removal. We successfully performed a very challenging and minimally invasive repair of the vein, along with the removal of the catheter entrapped in the innominate vein.
