Abstract

Vascular injury during common jugular venous (IJV) access is a rare complication, usually involving injury to the common carotid artery. We describe a previously unreported complication of iatrogenic injury of IJV access involving a branch of the superior thyroid artery, and its endovascular management.

Keywords

Arterio‑venous fistula - IJV access - internal jugular venous access - pseudoaneurysm - superior thyroid artery
