Vascular access routes and types and complications of them are among the most important reasons affecting morbidity, mortality and health expenditures in hemodialysis patients. A 59-year-old female patient had CKD for 5 months. Since the catheter did not work, the permanent catheter was removed by the cardiovascular surgeon and a temporary HD catheter was inserted through the jugular vein. A foreign body was noticed in the right atrium in the postero-anterior chest X-ray. It was noticed that the foreign body was the tip of the permanent catheter that was removed. The foreign body was removed by non-invasive methods using endovascular forceps under local anesthesia by cardiovascular surgery. It may be a rational approach to confirm that catheter is completely removed by using imaging methods. The aim of this case report was to present the complications that occur during the removal of HD catheters in the light of the literature
