    AbstractA pseudoaneurysm of the subclavian artery following central venous catheter placement is a rare but potentially fatal complication that often requires surgical intervention. However, surgical repair of the subclavian artery remains challenging. Herein, we report the case of a male patient undergoing hemodialysis who developed a pseudoaneurysm of the subclavian artery after a bedside central vein catheter placement. Hemostasis was successfully achieved by selecting the pseudoaneurysm using a microcatheter. At the 10-month follow-up, the pseudoaneurysm was completely excluded, and the patient was in a stable condition. The patient underwent native arteriovenous fistula creation and hemodialysis. Endovascular treatment could be an effective nonsurgical treatment for subclavian artery pseudoaneurysms and has been attempted as a first-line treatment option.
