Potentially fatal atrium perforation due to right jugular vein catheterization recognized by venography: A case report

Abstract

Abstract Central venous catheters are the prevalent path for dialysis. Our case was a 54‐years‐old male with a new case of end‐stage renal disease with a complaint of right jugular hemodialysis catheter dysfunction. In our case, the early dysfunctional catheter should be evaluated with contrast studies to achieve accurate information.
