Malpositioned dialysis catheters: A case series

Hemodialysis catheters (HDC) are the commonly used vascular access for hemodialysis. Functioning is essential adequate dialysis. Dialysis catheter insertion under ultrasound guidance now standard practice and has reduced incidence of mechanical complications during insertion. However, such as tip misplacement puncture mediastinum cannot be prevented by ultrasound-guided procedures alone. We report four cases abnormal positioning HDC emphasize importance fluoroscopy or radiography after procedure to verify position
