Description
Summary:Migration of guiding catheter during placement of hemodialysis femoral catheter is an unusual, early and rare mechanical complication. We report here the case of a 70-year-old man, admitted for severe renal failure, uremic syndrome and hyperkalemia, requiring an extra renal purification session which was complicated by a blockage of the femoral venous catheter guide during its removal. Such a complication highlights the importance of good anatomical knowledge, good monitoring by an experienced person during central venous catheterization, and the interest in using ultrasound guidance before and after catheter placement.
