Purpose: Patients with intestinal failure (IF) require long-term parenteral nutrition using central venous catheters (CVCs), which often require replacement. We adopted a less fallible guidewire replacement (GWR) method and verified its effectiveness and validity.
Methods: We enrolled 108 cases that underwent a CVC replacement with "GWR" method with IF at our department between 2013 and 2023.

Background & Aims: Loss of venous access is threatening for patients with intestinal failure (IF) under long-term parenteral nutrition (PN). We aimed to identify the incidence of central venous catheter (CVC) complications, compare different devices, and analyze interventional recanalizing procedures to restore the patency of occluded CVCs.
Methods: For this retrospective cohort study, patient data from a prospective IF database spanning 16 years was analyzed at a tertiary referral center.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examined complications related to central venous catheters (CVCs) in children with hematologic-oncologic diseases, discovering a total of 671 complications recorded over 153,731 CVC days, averaging 4.365 complications per 1000 CVC days.
- - Key findings indicated that nearly half of all complications were due to malfunctions, followed by bacteremia and mechanical issues, with various CVC types significantly affecting the risk levels.
- - The research concluded that around 20-25% of long-term CVCs are prematurely removed, underlining the need for ongoing monitoring to better manage CVCs and reduce complications in pediatric patients.

Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of various taurolidine solutions in the prevention and treatment of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) caused by the entire spectrum of microbes in patients receiving parenteral nutrition in a shorter period of time.
Methods: The in vitro method was used to test for eradication of biofilm. Different locks were used: TauroSept (2%), TauroLock (1.
