Background: Intravenous misplacement of a nephrostomy tube after percutaneous nephrostolithotomy (PCNL) is very rare in clinical experiences. This report summarizes the characteristics and management of intravenous misplacement.
Case Presentation: We present two uncommon cases of intravenous nephrostomy catheter misplacement after PCNL from among 4220 patients who underwent PCNL between January 2009 and December 2015. The tip of the tube was located in the inferior vena cava in one case and in the renal vein in the other. We preferably performed open surgery to treat the two patients, mainly to remove the residual calculi and to prepare for any possible adverse event. All patients were successfully managed and discharged uneventfully.
Conclusion: Intravenous nephrostomy tube misplacement is an uncommon PCNL complication. Furthermore, the study illustrates the importance of prompt diagnosis of renal vein perforation and its prompt management using open surgery, similar to conservative therapies.

Introduction: Acute compartment syndrome (ACS) in the hand and forearm is an uncommon yet significant orthopedic crisis. The misplacement or migration of an intravenous (IV) catheter can cause fluid extravasation into interstitial tissues, which is a rare but known cause of ACS. Diagnosis of ACS is usually clinical, but this can be challenging in anesthetized or obtunded patients who are unable to communicate.

Intravenous misplacement of the nephrostomy catheter following percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is severe and extremely rare, and little information is available about this complication. Because the patient's prognosis may be poor, sufficient attention should be paid to early identification and treatment of this complication. We report a case with intravenous misplacement of nephrostomy catheter and severe bleeding from the catheter after PCNL was transferred to our hospital.

Nephrostomy catheter misplacement into the inferior vena cava after percutaneous nephrolithotomy is an extremely rare complication, and subsequent catheter-related thrombosis has been more rarely reported. Here, we report a rare case of nephrostomy catheter misplacement after percutaneous nephrolithotomy. During the procedure, due to bleeding upon establishing the puncture channel, a renal fistula catheter with a balloon was inserted to facilitate hemostasis.

Background: Intraosseous (IO) infusion is a life-preserving technique when intravenous access is unobtainable. Successful IO infusion requires sufficiently high flow rates to preserve life but at low enough pressures to avoid complications. However, IO catheter tips are often misplaced, and the relative flow rates and pressures between IO catheter tips placed in medullary, trabecular, and cortical bone are not well described, which has important implications for clinical practice.
