ABSTRACT
Central venous cannulation is usually performed via the internal jugular vein (IJV) or subclavian vein (SclV) using the Seldinger technique. The puncture of the SclV can be achieved supraclavicular which was described by Yoffa in 1965. The original approach by Yoffa is based on anatomical landmarks. Ventriculoatrial (VA) shunts in patients suffering from hydrocephalus are becoming more common. It is the procedure of choice in patients with ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt complications. We present a case of a female patient with a complex cervical venous anatomy and an obscure inaccessible right internal jugular vein (IJV). Subsequently, we decided to use an ultrasound guided supraclavicular approach to the right subclavian vein for implantation of a VA shunt.
