Abstract
Life-threatening complications of subclavian central venous access are rare . Herein a case of inadvertent subclavian artery catheterization and subseq uent percutaneous arterial repair with use of the Prostar XL suture-mediate d closure device and temporary balloon tamponade is reported. This approach obviated a complex surgical intervention that would have required medial c lavicle resection.
