Popis: Key Clinical Message An EIM (ethanol infusion into the vein of Marshall [VOM]) provoked a fatal complication in a chronic hemodialysis patient. Autopsy revealed a lacerated VOM covered with thrombi as the only potential cause. The EIM caused vascular damage and clots resulting in myocardial necrosis and interstitial bleeding around the lacerated VOM.
