Figure 1
Figure 1
— Before manipulation, the peritoneal dialysis catheter is positioned in the mid-pelvis. Injected contrast is seen tracking retrograde along the catheter to the site of spillage in the lower left quadrant (white arrow).
Figure 2
Figure 2
— After stiff-wire manipulation, the peritoneal dialysis catheter is visualized in its new position in the left paracolic gutter (white solid arrow). In the mid-pelvis, a contrast-filled fibrin sheath from the initial PD catheter placement is seen (white dashed arrow).
