Abstract

Tunneled cuffed venous catheter or permacath insertion is used routinely in intensive care management and chronic kidney disease patient for dialysis. We report an unusual case of 43Y old male patient case of chronic kidney disease on dialysis in whom a 14.5 Fr tunneled cuffed venous catheter was retrieved from subclavian artery due to accidental catheterization following insertion of catheter from internal jugular vein.
