A 27-year-old Hispanic man with a history of hypertension and end-stage renal disease for 4 years became unresponsive, apneic, and pulseless during hemodialysis. During his 4 year period on dialysis, vascular access had become increasingly difficult and ultimately a transhepatic catheter had been placed 9 months prior to this event. Resuscitation was unsuccessful. At autopsy, death was determined to be due to cardiac tamponade secondary to perforation of the right atrium by the transhepatic catheter. Cardiac tamponade is a rare cause of sudden death during hemodialysis with a long-standing catheter.

“…While some complications occur early, such as pneumothorax [1 ] and accidental arterial puncture [2], superior vena caval perforation tends to occur hours to days after insertion of the catheter, and iatrogenic injury may not be clinically suspected [3]. Because of the morbidity and potential mortality [4] …”

“…The incidence of pneumothorax varies from less than 1 percent to more than 10 percent of insertions, depending on the skill and experience of the physician. Pericardial rupture and tamponade also have been described [93,94]. There is less likelihood of arterial puncture or pneumothorax in ultrasound-guided catheter insertion [95].…”
