[Delayed discovery in an ICU patient of a superior vena cava perforation after subclavian-venous catheterization]. / Découverte tardive chez un patient de réanimation d'une perforation de la veine cave supérieure par un cathéter veineux sous-clavier.

Perforation is a central venous catheterization complication mainly observed in children. Usually, patients develop sudden shock early after catheterization. We report an asymptomatic and delayed superior vena cava perforation after subclavian venous adult catheterization discovered by contrast injection tomography.
