Abstract:
Central venous catheter is one of the most commonly used vascular therapies in patients receiving hemodialysis and vascular perforation is a rare but serious complication. The present study reports on a case of a 64-year-old female who developed massive hemothorax and hemorrhagic shock after long-term dialysis due to central venous perforation during placement of the central venous catheter. This case was successfully managed by digital subtraction angiography-guided direct injection of coils and cyanoacrylate glue into the sinus tract. In addition, the literature regarding central venous perforation resulting from long-term dialysis catheters was reviewed, risk factors and prevention strategies were summarized and the advantages and disadvantages of various therapeutic approaches were compared.
