Abstract

Central venous catheters are the prevalent path for dialysis. Our case was a 54-years-old male with a new case of end-stage renal disease with a complaint of right jugular hemodialysis catheter dysfunction. In our case, the early dysfunctional catheter should be evaluated with contrast studies to achieve accurate information.

Keywords: central venous catheterization; chest x‐ray; jugular vein; venography.
