ABSTRACT
With the development of the Tenckhoff catheter and subsequent Trochar device for percutaneous placement, a bed-side approach for peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter insertion has been frequently used by nephrologists. Bleeding complications resulting from PD catheter placement are infrequent and massive bleeding by the rupture of inferior epigastric artery is very rare. We report a case of massive intra-abdominal hematoma caused by traumatic rupture of inferior epigastric artery during percutaneous placement of PD catheter.
