Abstract

Bleeding complication from Central dialysis catheter is rare. Usually it settles in short time after procedure. If patient is on antiplatelet therapy it can sometimes last for 24-48 hours and stops with pressure dressing. We report a rare case of ongoing (>96 hour post procedure) bleeding from dialysis catheter exit site and investigation revealed the cause was iliac vein laceration.
