Repeated femoral vein puncturing for maintenance haemodialysis vascular access

Abstract: The femoral vein repeated puncture technique has substantial advantages over venous catheters. It does not require surgery, while permitting adequate blood flow. This method can be used as a long-term (over 10 years) blood access. Apart from a few local haematomas, no serious complications have been observed. Moreover, it does not carry a heavy financial burden.

“…However, these procedures have a significant risk. For an immediate establishment of vascular access for hemodialysis, options included intermittent puncture of the femoral vein (5). In cases in which all conventional sites have been exhausted, unconventional femoral, translumber, or transhepatic approaches for central vein catheter placement have been tried (6).…”

“…Current DOQI guidelines encourage placing primary arteriovenous fistula in the non-dominant arm beneath the radiocarpal wrist, which contrasts with the high rate of initial failure, in some centers higher than 50% [2].…”

“…Insertion is relatively easy, complications are rare and treatment can be started without delay. [3] Complications of percutaneously inserted intravenous catheters previously reported in literature include bacteremia, mechanical failure or rupture and venous thrombosis. [4] Even though femoral vein temporary haemodialysis catheters are frequently used in India few reports regarding their complications especially fractures have appeared in publications.…”
