The procedure last night took longer than expected. They found things they were not expecting to find. Long story short, her big blood vessels are occluded or blocked. There are 4 main veins in her upper area and 3 are blocked. She has many collateral veins that are doing the job. They had to take out her PICC line and place a stent to keep the subclavian vein open. they don't know what caused the blockage but are guessing the IV lines played a part.
Her perfusion is good and she looks good.
