Neurovascular bundle
The neurovascular bundles located underneath the ribs are small collections of blood vessels (veins and arteries) and nerves which supply the tissues of the chest wall. When procedures such as a thoracentesis are performed, health professionals must avoid hitting this bundle. If they do, the patient may have significant bleeding, hypotension, shock, and decreased respiratory function.
