In developing countries like ours, patients with End Stage Renal Disease present late requiring urgent haemodialysis. The femoral vein is commonly used in this situation, as access is easier and faster with few complications. Few cases of catheter fracture and migration have been reported. We aim at reporting a case of 26-year-old woman who presented with bilateral venous femoral catheters fracture and migration. Both were successfully removed via bilateral groin exploration and venotomy. We recommend early removal in order to avert life-threatening complications.
