| Popis: | The placement of central venous catheters (CVC) has well-recognized complications many of which tend to be more frequent in chronic dialysis patients. The reasons for this include the large calibre of catheters required and the higher number of catheter placements needed [2,3]. In view of the increased risk, various precautionary measures are recommended. We report an unusual type of femoral artery injury that was caused by CVC placement despite adherence to recommended precautions. The case illustrates important learning points. |
