Core Tip Patients with end-stage renal disease and complete exhaustion of conventional vascular access represent a major therapeutic challenge. This report of two cases highlights video-assisted right minithoracotomy as a minimally invasive salvage strategy for direct right atrial hemodialysis catheter placement, providing durable access and satisfactory mid-term outcomes in highly complex patients when performed in specialized centers.
