“…The texture and cuff rings are identical in the Palindrome and Permcath catheters, which also had significantly higher the rates of catheter kinking and malposition compared to the other two types of TVCs. The specific ‘retrograde design’ of the Cannon II Plus catheter 31 ensures that the cuff ring is fixed above the clavicle, while the cuff ring of the HemoSplit catheter can be embedded in adjacent tissue. Therefore, these two catheters had a lower risk of kinking and malposition.…”

ObjectivesTo investigate the incidence rates and risk factors for catheter-related complications in different districts and populations in Henan Province in China.DesignCross-sectional.SettingFourteen hospitals in Henan Province.Participants865 patients with renal dysfunction undergoing dialysis using catheters between October 2013 and October 2014.Main outcome measuresThe main outcome measures were complications, risk factors and patient characteristics. Catheter-related complications included catheter-related infection (catheter exit-site infection, catheter tunnel infection and catheter-related bloodstream infection), catheter dysfunction (thrombosis, catheter malposition or kinking, and fibrin shell formation) and central vein stenosis.ResultsThe overall incidence rate was 7.74/1000 catheter-days, affecting 38.61% of all patients, for catheter infections, 10.58/1000 catheter-days, affecting 56.65% of all patients, for catheter dysfunction, and 0.68/1000 catheter-days, affecting 8.79% of all patients, for central vein stenosis. Multivariate analysis showed that increased age, diabetes, primary educational level or below, rural residence, lack of a nephropathy visit before dialysis and pre-established permanent vascular access, not taking oral drugs to prevent catheter thrombus, lower serum albumin levels and higher ferritin levels were independently associated with catheter infections. Rural residence, not taking oral drugs to prevent thrombus, lack of an imaging examination after catheter insertion, non-tunnel catheter type, lack of medical insurance, lack of nephropathy visit before dialysis and pre-established permanent vascular access, left-sided catheter position, access via the femoral vein and lower haemoglobin level were independently associated with catheter dysfunction. Diabetes, lack of nephropathy visit before dialysis and pre-established permanent vascular access, lack of oral drugs to prevent catheter thrombus, left-sided catheter location and higher number of catheter insertions, were independently associated with central vein stenosis.ConclusionsThe rate of catheter-related complications was high in patients with end-stage renal disease in Henan Province. Our finding suggest that strategies should be implemented to decrease complication rates.

“…1 The advantages of retrograde tunneling include accurate tip placement and the distal valve has the theoretical advantage of an antireflux mechanism. 2 3 Post-tunneling, the catheter is attached to the port chamber and the port chamber is placed in a subcutaneous pocket, without any kinking or angulations. While trimming the catheter length, a balance needs to be achieved between the operator comfort and avoiding the kink due to excess length.…”

Objective Groshong valved catheters require retrograde tunneling and a port chamber needs to be attached to the catheter after trimming. During this process, working space constraints are generally faced by operators. We describe a novel technique to improve the comfort of the operator while working in a constrained space. Materials and Method The port catheter with the distal valve is retrogradely tunneled and trimmed. Thread from absorbable surgical suture is used to anchor the catheter lock. Anchored catheter lock is comfortably pushed over the catheter into the subcutaneous tunnel without it being migrated proximally. Once the port chamber is attached to the catheter, the catheter lock is retrieved back and moved to the locking position. We retrospectively analyzed implantable ports for smoothness of curves and outcomes in terms of catheter days. Results Technical success was achieved in all patients. There were no periprocedural complications. Clinical success was achieved in 27/29 cases. Early port removal was done due to infection in one patient and for nonhealing of the wound in one patient. Conclusion The catheter lock anchor is a safe and useful technique for the placement of valved ports. A satisfactory catheter-nut angle can be achieved with this technique.
