# Effective and Lifesaving Retrograde Femoral and Jugular Vein Double‐Lumen Catheter Insertion in Patients With Poor Hemodialysis Venous Access Who Needed Emergency Hemodialysis: A Case Series

## TL;DR

This case series describes a life-saving temporary method for hemodialysis access in patients with poor venous access.

## Contribution

The study presents retrograde femoral catheter insertion as an effective emergency solution for hemodialysis in resource-limited settings.

## Key findings

- Retrograde femoral catheter insertion is a viable rescue procedure for patients with poor venous access.
- This method can serve as a temporary solution until permanent dialysis access is established.

## Abstract

Retrograde femoral catheter insertion for hemodialysis access is an immediate rescue procedure and a short‐term solution to salvage life in compromised patients. This temporary solution could be reserved in resource‐limited regions until permanent dialysis routes are established.
