In the last years, the placement of permanent central venous catheters for hemodialysis, infusion, and electrophysiological therapy has widely increased in clinical practice. As a result, the number of central venous obstructions has increased due to thrombosis or reactive stenosis correlated with these devices. This article describes the clinical case of an extensive thrombosis involving the superior vena cava and the anonymous trunks in a patient reliant on a permanent central venous catheter for hemodialysis treatment.Downloads
