Resum
Placement of central venous lines, is a standard in major surgery. Over 15% of patients develop complications after place- ment of central venous catheters. Vascular perforation is a rare complication (<5%).Only 10% of the drilling takes place in central veins, the correct diagnosis is usually made late, contributing to high morbidity and mortality in these patients. We report a 66 year old woman admitted for elective reconstruction of intestinal transit, that after establishing total parenteral nutrition due to a torpid postoperative presents bilateral pleural effusion and pericardial vascular perforation after central venous catheter. This event seeks to highlight the peculiarity of the presence of communication between the 3 spaces, pleural and pericardial effusions as there are few cases reported in the literature.
