Left Brachiocephalic Perforation During Right Heart Catheterization. [PDF]
Right heart catheterization is overall considered a safe procedure, although complications can arise from venous access injuries, arrhythmias, vasovagal episodes, and pulmonary artery rupture. We present a case of left brachiocephalic vein perforation during a diagnostic right heart catheterization, which was managed conservatively.
