Maintenance of vascular access for hemodialysis remains a challenge for every doctor. Exhausted conventional vascular access is the cause for the placement of the central venous catheter in unconventional sites such as enlarged collateral vessels, hepatic veins, hemiazygos, azygos, renal veins, and the inferior vena cava. The percutaneous translumbar catheter for hemodialysis in the inferior vena cava was described over 20 years ago. In this article, we report on the procedure and complications arising from the percutaneous translumbar approach of a hemodialysis catheter. This was done for the first time in N. Macedonia. This approach is a potential option in adults and children when conventional approaches are limited.
