Iatrogenic vascular injuries during peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) placements are uncommon but can lead to significant complications, such as pseudoaneurysms and hematomas. We present the case of a 71-year-old woman with multiple comorbidities who developed a right subpectoral hematoma with active arterial bleeding following PICC line insertion. This injury was successfully managed using minimally invasive coil embolization by the interventional radiology team. This case underscores the importance of early recognition and management of such injuries, highlighting the efficacy of interventional radiology techniques as life-saving interventions.
在经外周静脉穿刺中心静脉置管（PICC）过程中发生的医源性血管损伤并不常见，但可能导致严重并发症，如假性动脉瘤和血肿。我们报告一例71岁患有多种合并症的女性患者，在PICC置管后出现右侧胸肌下血肿并伴有活动性动脉出血。介入放射科团队通过微创弹簧圈栓塞成功处理了这一损伤。该病例强调了早期识别和处理此类损伤的重要性，突出了介入放射学技术作为挽救生命干预措施的有效性。
