Final answer:
The most likely complication during a stellate ganglion block is an inadvertent injection into the vertebral artery. This is due to their respective position in relation to where the block is usually performed.
Step-by-step explanation:
While performing a stellate ganglion block, the most likely complication is injection into the vertebral artery (Option B). The internal carotid artery enters the brain through the carotid canal and is less accessible in the area where a stellate ganglion block is performed. The vertebral arteries are protected as they pass through the neck region by the transverse foramina of the cervical vertebrae but are in closer proximity to the location of the stellate ganglion. The vertebral arteries, which branch off from the subclavian artery and carry oxygenated blood to the brain, are therefore at risk during the procedure. Other vessels like the internal jugular vein, carotid artery, and subclavian artery are less likely to be inadvertently injected due to their location or the path taken during the procedure.
