Placing of Permanent Catheter through Right Anterior Mini Thoracotomy in Patients with Chronic Renal Failure

Right intra‐atrial catheter placement for hemodialysis in patients with multiple venous failure

“…However, this procedure has some disadvantages, such as the possibility of thrombosis, infection, and catheter malfunction; intra‐atrial catheterization provides a successful hemodialysis option with adequate flows. The early and mid‐term patency rates of the procedure are also promising when compared with the other nontraditional access routes . In the present study, 81.5% of the cases could be dialyzed successfully via intra‐atrial permanent hemodialysis catheters within the mean of 27.5 ± 14.8 months of follow‐up.…”

“…The early and mid-term patency rates of the procedure are also promising when compared with the other nontraditional access routes. [15][16][17] In the present study, 81.5% of the cases could be dialyzed successfully via intra-atrial permanent hemodialysis catheters within the mean of 27.5 Ϯ 14.8 months of follow-up. Any catheter-related infection has still not seen in our study population the fact that postoperative parenteral antibiotherapy, which was followed by peroral antibiotherapy till the end of the first week of hospital discharge, was carefully administrated to each of the study participants who had increased risks for endocarditis, catheter infection, and sepsis.…”

Intracardiac access for hemodialysis: A case series

“…In 2005, Negoi et al reported placement of the intracardiac dialysis catheter in patient #2 above, whose course we report here with successful transition to transplant after 15 months. 14 16 In 2008, Wales et al reported placement of an intracardiac dialysis catheter at the time of coronary artery bypass grafting, with successful dialysis continuing at 3 months' followup. 17 We report a small case series of patients with successful placement of intracardiac dialysis catheters.…”

Life-saving vascular access in vascular capital exhaustion: single center experience in intra-atrial catheters for hemodialysis

“…10,12 The causes of death were also different from those previously reported -cardiovascular (acute myocardial infarction and ventricular fibrillation 12 and metabolic. 10 The mean age of this population, well above of previously published series (66 years versus 49, 54 and 59 years), [10][11][12] may justify these poorer results. Patients who died in the early postoperative period were 76 and 69 years old, respectively, and had several comorbidities, reflected by their high Charlson comorbidity index, 6 and 7, respectively.…”

“…Since then, there have been several case reports, [7][8][9] and three small series were published. [10][11][12] The experience with these catheters in HD is limited and, although their use remains restricted to life-saving situations of multiple venous access failure, with no other possibility of alternative RRT, an analysis of survival on HD with IAC and associated complications is essential to consider the best therapeutic options.…”
