Abstract

The subclavian vein is an uncommon route for tunneled hemodialysis catheter (tHDC) placement because of its potency for future dialysis access. However, when favored access routes have been exhausted because of repeated catheterization or limited life expectancy, the subclavian vein can be used for urgent hemodialysis. A subclavian catheterization has a technical problem. The subclavian vein often forms a right angle with the vena cava, and advancing stiff peel-away sheath can cause a vascular injury. However, raising the patient's arm can alter the position of the guidewire and, therefore, change the angle of the vein favorable for tHDC placement. Herein, we report two patients who underwent subclavian catheterization; one experienced an injury to the superior vena cava after undergoing the conventional procedure, whereas the other patient with raised arm during the catheterization procedure had safe catheter placement.

매립혈액투석카테터 삽입을 위한 접근로 선택에서 쇄골하정맥은 이후에 동정맥루 접근로 형성을 위해 가능한 사용을 피하는 경로이다. 그러나 반복적 삽관으로 접근 가능한 정맥이 소진되거나 기대여명이 길지 않고 응급 투석이 필요한 경우 쇄골하정맥을 선택할 수 있다. 그러나 쇄골하정맥을 통한 혈액투석카테터 삽입에는 기술적인 어려움이 있다. 쇄골하정맥은 종종 상대정맥과 직각을 형성하여 굵은 혈관초삽입시 혈관 손상을 초래할 수 있다. 상지 거상 상태에서 혈관초를 삽입하는 방법은 각도를 완만하게 유도하여 이러한 문제를 극복하는데 도움을 줄 수 있다. 고식적앙와위 자세로 시술 중 상대정맥 손상이 있었던 환자와 연달아 내원하여 상지 거상 후 안전하게 혈액투석카테터를 삽입한 환자의 각각의 증례를 통해 상지 거상법이 도움이 될 수 있음을 보고하고자 한다.
