Background: Left innominatevein occlusion is a known complication of pacemaker and central venous catheter placement.
2
The left innominatevein crosses the artery in front from left to right, and must be drawn down.
3
Multiple attempts to percutaneously cross the left innominatevein were unsuccessful and the patient was referred for surgical intervention.
4
The presence of significant left innominatevein stenosis and tip location of the catheter was evaluated on chest computed tomography images.
5
Purpose:: To evaluate the effect of catheter diameter on left innominatevein stenosis in breast cancer patients after placement of totally implantable venous access ports.
