Central Vein Catheterization (CVC) is a safe procedure with occasional complications. Iatrogenic arteriovenous fistula may happen during CVC, among which subclavian artery-internal jugular vein fistula is extremely rare. The clinical presentations vary from asymptomatic to heart failure. Surgical repairment can be challenging due to the anatomic obstacle and high risk of bleeding. Here we present a case report of iatrogenic subclavian artery-internal jugular vein fistula in a young woman who received successfully surgical repairment with balloon-assisted occlusion.
