Background

Central venous access catheter (CVC) devices are a critical part of care in patients with a variety of treatment needs but are not without complications.

Case presentation

A 5-year-old male child with a background of autosomal recessive nephrotic syndrome developed a septic right atrial thrombus related to his dialysis line. Mechanical thrombectomy and line removal was complicated by tract haemorrhage, requiring the integrated management of thrombosis and haemorrhage. Haemostasis was achieved with combination of compression and sealing of the subcutaneous tract.

Conclusion

This case provides an excellent example of tract haemorrhage demonstrated fluoroscopically. We discuss the available treatment options, which may need to be employed in urgent or emergent fashion, in paediatric patients with differing physiological reserves.
