The stuck central venous catheter: beware of potential hazards.
Many complications of attempted central venous access have been described, most related to insertion. Larger and stiffer catheters are being used more often for dialysis or massive transfusion. This case report details how one catheter was damaged during the insertion of a second catheter. The problem was discovered when the catheter could not be removed, and was subsequently removed after diss...
متن کاملDialysis catheter malfunction
Vascular access is a crucial factor in the treatment of hemodialysis patients. Dialysis catheters are associated with higher mortality than fistulas, meaning they should be the last choice for most patients. Although they have many drawbacks, catheters play an important role in providing a reliable vascular access in some patients. Dialysis catheter dysfunction is a major cause of morbidity. Ea...
متن کاملRare complication of a dialysis catheter insertion
Insertion of a dialysis catheter is a very common procedure in renal medicine, which is associated with one or more complications in ∼15% of patients. Central venous catheter vascular erosion is a rare but serious complication, the incidence appears to be between 0.4 and 1% which can be difficult to diagnose, leading to increased morbidity and mortality. We report a case of a persistent left-si...
متن کاملA case of misplaced permacath dialysis catheter
Central venous placement using ultrasound has significantly reduced the complications associated with blind puncture. The central venous catheter can still get misplaced if it follows an anomalous route after appropriate puncture of desired vessel. We report a case of misplaced dialysis catheter into the accessory hemiazygos vein which resulted in a large hemothorax, and we recommend the routin...
متن کاملA review of evolving dialysis catheter technologies.
Dialysis catheters continue to play a vital role in the delivery of hemodialysis to patients for both temporary vascular access, serving as a bridge to permanent access, and for long-term access for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). During the past decade, there has been an emergence of technological advancements in the design of dialysis catheters in an attempt to reduce catheter m...
