title: Venopelvic fistula: a rare complication of hyperalimentation.
abstract: The prolonged placement of a hyperalimentation catheter via the left great saphenous vein resulted in obstruction of the inferior vena cava and in the formation of a venopelvic fistula. Administration of hyperosmolar fluid via this catheter might be the cause of this complication.
