Özet: During upper extremity central venous catheterization, massive subclavian artery injury is a rare complication. According to localization and extent, the injury may be life threatening. Durine insertion of central venous port catheter to the subclavian vein, the subclavian artery was injured in more then one location in a patient who was treated for chronic myeloid leukemia. As a result of this injury, a pseudoaneurysm occured and caused tracheal compression. This pseudoa- neurysm was treated by a hybrid terapy by using endovascular stent for the distal part and surgical approach for the proximal part.
