GALLEGO-VERDEJO, Marta; GOMEZ-SAN MARTIN, Ma. Esther; GONZALEZ-FUENTES, Mercedes S.  y  PENA-AISA, Ana. Migration of double-J ureteral catheter into the inferior vena cava, an unusual complication. Urol. Colomb. [online]. 2023, vol.32, n.3, pp.115-118.  Epub 23-Abr-2024. ISSN 2027-0119.  https://doi.org/10.24875/ruc.22000004.

Double-J ureteral catheter placement is one of the most commonly performed procedures in Urology, with low rates of severe complications. Nevertheless, they can occur and require early identification and treatment. We present the case of a 73-year-old man who underwent radical prostatectomy and placement of a double-J catheter due to suspected ureteral injury during the surgery, with hemodynamic instability in the immediate postoperative period secondary to intracaval migration of the catheter.
