Popis: We report a case of vascular injury caused by a multi‐lumen catheter for CRRT inserted through left jugular vein. Diagnosis was delayed because CRRT could be continued. Clinicians should be aware of potential vascular complications associated with the wrong placement of multi‐lumen catheters even if blood flow continues without difficulty.
In case of wrong placement of the triple‐lumen catheter as a vascular access for CRRT, the blood flow may be maintained, even if a catheter causes vascular injury. The clinician should ensure to place the tip of catheter in the right atrium.
