Left innominate vein stenosis as a late complication of central vein catheterization. 1985

V Fourestie, and B Godeau, and J L Lejonc, and A Schaeffer

A patient was seen for acute exercise-induced left superior limb swelling. Phlebography disclosed left innominate vein stenosis and the lack of subclavian vein thrombosis. Ten months earlier, the patient underwent repeated and prolonged central vein catheterization procedures. No other cause of central vein stenosis was evidenced. Emphasis is placed on the symptomatic presenting event, the very late discovery, and the site of stenosis.
