Internal jugular vein (IJV) cannulation is one of the most commonly used procedure in intensive care units and hemodialysis setting. With ultrasound-guided cannulations, the incidence of complications has significantly decreased. We report a patient who developed vertebro-jugular fistula post internal jugular vein cannulation and was successfully treated with a stent graft placed using an endovascular technique. In the literature, very few similar cases have been reported so far.
