Central venous catheter (CVC) use is common among patients undergoing hemodialysis. Catheter-related vascular thrombosis is a frequent complication, which results in catheter dysfunction. This may eliminate the affected vein as a potential route of vascular access and leads to significant morbidity of the limbs involved. Despite increasing prevalence, there is a dearth of evidence-based guidelines for managing such catheter-related thrombi, often leading to treatment dilemmas in clinical practice. Minimizing the use of CVCs for hemodialysis remains the best approach in preventing such adverse complications. Furthermore, meticulous planning and care when using such catheters in unavoidable circumstances along with vigilant surveillance to identify complications early will allow to avoid associated morbidity.

usually presents with erythrasma, a macular rash, but rarely it can cause extracutaneous infections such as endocarditis, peritonitis, pyelonephritis, and catheter-related bloodstream infections. Here, we present the first case of septic arthritis caused by and a literature review of invasive infections. The diagnosis was confirmed by the patient's clinical findings and microbiological examination of the joint fluid.

: Although the risk of serious bleeding following peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion is low, pericannular bleeding can increase the risk of catheter-related infections and reduce catheter survival. We aimed to analyze the risk factors for bleeding complications during peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion and assess whether temporary preemptive hemodialysis before catheterization can reduce bleeding and improve catheter survival. : We retrospectively analyzed bleeding complications and catheter survival in patients who underwent temporary hemodialysis prior to peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion.

The treatment of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD with peritoneal dialysis (PD) continues to increase. Timely initiation of PD is dependent on successful PD catheter placement, which can be performed using open or laparoscopic surgical or percutaneous techniques. Dialysis access surgeons who incorporate PD catheter insertion in their practice can uniquely offer comprehensive access services to their patients.

Catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) add to the morbidity and mortality of hemodialysis patients. is an extremely resistant, gram-negative, non-lactose-fermenting nosocomial bacterium that contributes significantly to mortality and morbidity. This bacterium is predominantly associated with community-acquired pneumonia, bacteremia, eye afflictions, biliary sepsis, urinary tract infection, skin and soft tissue infection, and very rarely chronic enteritis with colonic ulcers.

Central venous catheters (CVCs) are essential in modern healthcare but are associated with significant risks, particularly catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs). Current guidelines do not recommend routine replacement of CVCs based on time alone. However, recent evidence challenges this recommendation.
