Complications with Permanent Peritoneal Dialysis Catheters: Experience with 154 Percutaneously Placed Catheters

Abstract: A prospective study evaluated the complications in 154 patients in whom a permanent peritoneal dialysis catheter was inserted percutaneously from April 1982 to June 1986. Obstruction to flow and fluid leakage occurred in 9.2 and 2.6% of the catheters, respectively. Catheter survival was 64.6 and 48.6% at 1- and 2-year follow-up, respectively. The complication rates and survival of percutaneously placed catheters was comparable to those reported for surgically placed catheters. Percutaneous insertion of Tenckho… Show more

“…The principal major complications of percutaneous placement as a "blind" technique are the risk of inadvertent puncture of the abdominal viscera and the possibility of major bleeding. However, the very low frequency of perforation reported in previous percutaneous studies (0% -1.3%) argues against the magnitude of this complication (1,(6)(7)(8)(9).…”

“…Nonetheless, we encountered no such complications (0%) using our new technique of PD catheter insertion. Among percutaneously inserted PD catheters, early leakage has varied from 2.6% to 22% (7,9,17,18). Moreiras et al (7) reported that 15.3% of their mechanical complications were related to the insertion technique, and 6%, to early leakage.…”
