Einstein (Sao Paulo)
December 2024
Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, SP, Brazil.
Objective: To evaluate the incidence of malfunction and colonization rates of fully implantable long-term catheters left unflushed during the COVID-19 pandemic; and to evaluate the average cost of transporting each patient to the hospital for flushing.
Methods: During the COVID-19 pandemic, patients reduced the number of hospital visits and stopped flushing their catheters periodically with saline solution. After the pandemic stabilized in 2022, patients who completed chemotherapy treatment had their long-term catheters removed.

We present a case of biopsy-proven epithelioid angiosarcoma in an arteriovenous fistula (AVF). Angiosarcomas developing in non-functioning AVF in renal transplant recipients are rare clinical entities with poor prognosis. A 59-year-old male adequately immunosuppressed kidney transplant patient presented with pain and swelling at the site of a previously asymptomatic fistula.
