Abstract

55 years old patient with chronic haemodialysis 3 times a week, presenting with a failed maturation in his left radial arteriovenous fistula, coupled with right fistula stenosis and very significant swelling of the upper limb, as well as stenosis of the right brachiocephalic trunk; having benefitted from 4 angioplasties all doomed to failure.

Patient was admitted to the nephrology department for the placement of a left tunneled jugular catheter, which ended up migrating to the mediastinum. A CT angiography was performed, revealing an extravasation of the venous contrast medium from the left brachiocephalic venous trunk coming opposite the catheter of which the distal tip is at the anterior mediastinum
