N2 - The proximity of the subclavian vein to several important structures of the arm, neck and chest make serious complications in subclavian catheterization occur in 0.4% to 9.9% of cases. Complications can be in immediate, chronic and late categories. An understanding of the anatomy, venography and a step-by-step technique of catheterization will help prevent complications and assist the physician in recognizing them when they occur.
