Is CVP malpostion the right term in the sentence below? Searching on the Internet I see catheter malposition but I'm not sure if it's the same thing.

Pseudoaneurysm of the internal mammary artery (IMA) is rare, and most of those have been reported as a complication after a penetrating injury, [CVP malpostion] or median sternototmy for coronary artery bypass surgery.

CVP stands for central vein pressure. I believe in the sentence CVP malposition means CVP catheter malposition.

Hope that help
