Abstract
Central venous catheters provide an important means of vascular access and are increasingly used. Catheter occlusion refers to the inability to infuse or withdraw fluids from a catheter and could be caused by either thrombotic or nonthrombotic origin. We report an unusual malfunction of double lumen central venous catheter due to kinking and bending of the catheter at the opening site of proximal lumen.
