ABSTRACT
Central venous catheters (CVCs), regarded as lines of life, are helpful in hemodynamic monitoring and delivering medications to patients. However, there are several complications that can result from the placement of CVCs. This includes accidental arterial puncture, which has a temporal association with hemorrhage, hematoma, and stroke. Infusion of vasopressors through such a mispositioned arterial CVC further increases the risk of these complications with potential end-organ ischemia. Here, we discuss the case of a 76-year-old woman who developed a myocardial infarction, heart failure, and subarachnoid hemorrhage following the arterial infusion of vasopressors through a malpositioned CVC.
