Hematuria during the right heart catheterization procedure: Renal perforation as a very rare complication

Abstract

Abstract The occurrence of hematuria during a right heart catheterization can be a sign of renal perforation, a rare but life‐threatening complication that could be developed due to the misdirection of wire into the abdominopelvic venous plexus. We showed this complication could be managed with venoplasty of the common iliac vein.
