Abstract EN
Percutaneous femoral vein catheterization is a safe procedure to perform and major complications are rarely reported.
WE present a case of death following such procedure in a chronic hemodialysis patient.
This case is to emphasize the importance of taking utmost care during insertion of he catheter and not to underestimate the dangers of what may look like a minor tear in the vein when surgical exploration is needed.
