title: A complication of temporary subclavian vein haemodialysis catheter: vena cava superior injury.
abstract: Haemodialysis catheters used in the treatment of renal failure can cause very serious complications. Therefore, selection of the appropriate vein, and application of the intervention under ultrasound (US) guidance, carry vital importance. In this study, we aimed to present a potentially fatal complication of temporary haemodialysis catheter.
