Abstract
A 59 year old woman developed a mediastinal haematoma after placement of a subclavian haemodialysis catheter. Vascular perforation by the guide wire used during catheterisation was the probable cause. The use of guide wires with a flexible J-shaped terminal portion is recommended to minimise this risk.
