Abstract
Cerebral air embolism after removal of central venous catheter (CVC) is a rare complication but can lead to fatal outcomes. We report a rare case of both cerebral venous and arterial embolism occurring in a patient with underlying scleroderma-related interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) and pulmonary hypertension following removal of percutaneous introducer sheath for pulmonary artery catheterization. We discuss the mechanisms, pathophysiology, management and prevention of cerebral air embolism.
