A 77-year-old man presenting with uremic acidosis was referred to our department for a misplaced vascular access catheter. Computed tomography revealed the catheter was passing through the subclavian artery and terminating in the ascending aorta. Under angio-fluoroscopic monitoring, a VIABAHN stent graft was deployed immediately after removing the catheter. The patient had no hemorrhagic complication although continuous hemodiafiltration was started just after surgery. His postoperative course was uneventful.
