Late venous laceration after inappropriate placement of a left internal jugular hemodialysis catheter: a case report.

ABSTRACT: Central venous catheterization is a necessary and common method of building the circulation pathways of patients with end-stage kidney disease. Venous rupture is a severe and fatal complication of central venous catheterization.
