20.500.12556/DiRROS-29187 Misplaced femoral vein central venous catheter placed into renal graft vein a case report Background: Central venous catheterization is a common procedure that enables the application of drugs and fluids, can assist in hemodynamic monitoring or serve as vascular access for extracorporeal therapies. Central venous catheter insertion is generally safe, but complications do occur. Case presentation: We present a patient with a kidney transplant in the right iliac fossa and septic shock who was in need of urgent catheter insertion. The right femoral vein was chosen as the site of insertion. There were no major complications during the insertion and no problems with the use of catheter afterwards. Two weeks after the insertion we incidentally discovered that the tip and a large portion of the catheter had been inserted into the renal vein of the transplanted kidney. The position of the catheter was changed by the radiologist with no clear harm to the transplanted kidney. Conclusions: Femoral central vein catheter malposition into the renal vein of a transplant kidney is to our knowledge very rare and has been reported only once. This case report highlights the importance of considering altered anatomy in kidney transplant recipients and emphasizes the importance of imaging and caution in such cases to prevent potentially serious complications. central venous catheter kidney transplantation renal graft vein imaging case report centralni venski kateter presaditev ledvice vena presajene ledvice predstavitev primera true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2026-04-23 12:00:26 2026-04-23 12:00:26 2026-04-24 04:05:30 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 12. 3. 2026; str. 1-5 Vol. 27, [article no.] 193 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 616.61 1471-2369 10.1186/s12882-026-04839-8 271352067 RAZ_Piletic_Jaka_2026.pdf RAZ_Piletic_Jaka_2026.pdf 1 D36046FFC0C8D4D907BAE650D5310C49 a4c71f467028cd43deb7012d3bceed71b77dbc44ae4a7f289302791eb08717ed ee8d1bdf-3efb-11f1-b867-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=43637 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12882-026-04839-8 1 43419c9e-3efb-11f1-b867-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=43636 Univerzitetni klinični center Ljubljana 0 0 0
