Rash sheath removal could result in fatal hemorrhage. We report a case of inadvertent 6F sheath cannulation of the right subclavian artery during a radiofrequency catheter ablation procedure and successful repair of the cannulation by Angio-Seal STS plus （St. Jude Medical, St. Paul, MN, US）, a collagen-base vascular closure device.展开更多
