Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: The tunneled hemodialysis catheter has been widely used for a temporary or an alternative permanent vascular access in patients requiring hemodialysis. The tunneled hemodialysis catheter is also widely used for a reliable vascular access in children who need stem cell transplantation.
Method: We reviewed the results of 150 catheters inserted in 108 patients for the duration of the indwelling catheter, the complication rate and the reasons for insertion and removal.
Result: The mean duration of the indwelling catheter was 5.7 months (1 d¡52.2 mo). In the stem cell transplantation group, the mean duration of the indwelling catheter was significantly longer than for the hemodialysis group (mean: 9.9 mo vs. 3.6 mo, P£¼0.05). Fifty-one catheters (39.8%) were removed due to complications. The most common complications were infection (n=23: 17.9%) and dislocation (n=15: 11.7%). In the hemodialysis group, the complication-related catheter removal was more frequent than in the stem cell transplantation group (43.9% vs. 32.6%, P£¼0.05).
Conclusion: The tunneled hemodialysis catheter remains a reliable short-term vascular access for hemodialysis and a good vascular access in stem cell transplantation.
