Prevalencia de complicaciones de los accesos venosos para hemodiálisis colocados por radiología intervencionista, experiencia de tres años

Abstract

Introduction:The use of hemodialysis as a substitute treatment for renal function is very important, since renal failure is a complication of multiple pathologies, among which we find diabetes and hypertension (main public health problems in Mexico). However, hemodialysis is not exempt from complications that can occur from the placement of the access, despite the use of imaging tools. Objective: To determine the prevalence of complications of venous access for hemodialysis that occurred between 2018 and 2021. Method: Observational, descriptive, retrospective and cross-sectional study, all patients undergoing venous access placement for hemodialysis by Interventional Radiology were included.Results: One hundred one venous accesses were placed, of which 56.4% were men, and the mean age was 56.28 ± 17.21 years. A significant relationship was found between complications and age, anatomical insertion and number of previous catheters placed (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Complications in the placement of venous access occur mainly late and are related to the number of previous venous accesses placed and that the patient is elderly.
