Abstract
- Pneumothorax is one of the most frequent complications of percutaneous central venous catheterization.Most significant pneumothoraces are easily detected on postcatheterization chest radiograph.However, we report a rare case of delayed tension pneumothorax detected 4 days after unsuccessful central venous catheterization via the infraclavicular subclavian vein, although initial postcatheterization and postoperative supine chest radiographs showed no active lesion.
