Abstract
This chapter discusses the case of a patient with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who presented with a femoral tunneled hemodialysis catheter that “fell out.” The patient has had multiple previous access surgeries and multiple central catheters with known left and right subclavian vein occlusion. She had been dialyzing via right femoral tunneled catheter for the past 3 months with no infectious complications noted. The patient is known to have a contrast allergy.
