    Abstract

    One of the possible complications of subclavian vein puncture is accidental puncture of the subclavian artery. If this is not noted immediately after the puncture, insertion of a large bore sheath in the subclavian artery is likely to follow. We describe our experience with a new method that enables successful and safe removal of such sheaths without notable blood loss, in three patients. (C) 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
