{Abstract}: The internal jugular vein (IJV) is occasionally used for blood access during catheter ablation. Additionally, accidental injury of the vertebral artery during an IJV puncture is a rare complication that can result in catastrophic events, such as death. However, vascular access complications cannot be completely prevented despite the introduction of ultrasound-guided punctures. Here, we present a case of a patient with symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation that required catheter ablation.
