摘要
Percutaneous bypass catheters are routinely used for veno-venous bypass (VVBP) during orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). The recognized risks include bleeding, injury of vascular and nerve structures and lymphatic leakage. We describe a case where there were difficulties during catheterization and the patient suffered a cardiac arrest on commencing VVBP. Post-mortem examination revealed the bypass catheter tip in the pleural space and a large right haemothorax. Possible mechanisms of vascular perforation and preventative measures are discussed.
