Description
Summary:	With the increasing use of femoral vascular catheter in intensive care unit (ICU), the insertion related complications of them are dealt seriously. [1],[2] But, scarcity of reports about complications following removal of femoral vascular catheter encourage us to report two interesting, potentially fatal complications of femoral vascular catheter removal in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. The importance of bedside ultrasonography (USG) after femoral vascular catheter removal has been stressed in this communication.
