“…Thus the answer to the question of why straight catheters perform better than coiled ones should be sought in residual confounders that were not addressed in the included studies. The study by Johnson et al 11 favors straight catheters, as the coiled ones were removed more frequently because of inadequate small-solute clearances. However, solute clearance adequacy is influenced by many confounders, aside from the catheter's performance.…”

As the incidence of end stage renal disease increases across the globe, so too do the survival rates of peritoneal dialysis patients. It is notable though, that peritoneal dialysis utilization does not follow at the same pace, attributable into the high technique failure rates, mainly due to peritoneal catheter dysfunction. A new systematic review and meta-analysis by Hagen et al. reveals that the use of straight catheters may improve outcomes and technique survival.

“…However, a RCT reported improved primary catheter function (22) and improved PD technique survival for straight versus coiled catheters (23). A further RCT reported that coiled catheters might have higher migration rates than straight catheters (24).…”
