The most recent National Kidney Foundation Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative guidelines shifted emphasis to kidney replacement modality selection and vascular access planning and creation of the Endstage Kidney Disease Life-Plan, which promotes a patient-centered approach. The Life-Plan is intended to be created through discussions between the patient and their multidisciplinary care team to ultimately develop a lifelong kidney replacement therapy strategy. The focus of the Life-Plan is to engage the patient in a multidisciplinary patient-centered approach.

Tunneled dialysis catheter (TDC) placement plays an essential role in hemodialysis patients. These catheters are inserted in a significant number of patients prior to establishing permanent dialysis access. Insertion is often simple and straightforward, and the preference is to use the right internal jugular vein due to fewer chances of long-term complications.

Comparing the differences in efficacy and adverse reactions on the application between tunnel peripherally inserted central catheter (TPICC) and ultrasound-guided peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) in patients with advanced tumors. A retrospective investigation was conducted to collect treatment data. We randomly selected 200 patients with advanced tumors who were admitted to our hospital from January 2020 to January 2022 as the research subjects.

Peritoneal dialysis catheter design and function and implications for the clinical setting.

Expert Rev Med Devices

Department of Nephrology, Logan Hospital, Meadowbrook, Qld, Australia.

Introduction: Peritoneal catheters are a fundamental form of dialysis access. An appreciation of the principles of catheter design is important for practitioners involved in the insertion and maintenance of peritoneal dialysis access. Although silicone dual-cuffed catheters are standard, the optimal catheter design remains uncertain.

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty is safe and feasible for reinsertion of tunneled cuffed catheters in the right internal jugular vein.

Sci Rep

Department of Nephrology, Bengbu Hospital of Shanghai General Hospital, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical University, No. 633, Longhua Road, Huaishang District, Bengbu, 233040, China.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the use of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) to safely and effectively reinsert tunneled cuffed catheters (TCC) in the right internal jugular vein (RIJV) of hemodialysis patients who have experienced prior complications like stenosis or occlusion.
  • - Clinical data from 21 patients were analyzed, with successful reinsertion and adequate blood flow for hemodialysis observed in all cases, although one patient experienced minor bleeding during the procedure.
  • - The findings suggest that PTA is a reliable method for catheter reinsertion, preserving vascular resources and avoiding the need for new venous access sites in patients with prior catheterization issues.
