Vascular injuries after insertion of a Hickman line in neck are not uncommon.

She sustained a life threatening right subclavian artery injury which was managed by deploying endovascular covered stent. We recommend open surgical technique for Hickman line insertion under these circumstances after correction of coagulopathy.
