“…Translumbar/transhepatic catheters Published reports from 1995 to 2018 are summarised in Table 1. [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] The age range of patients in these reports is from 22 to 83 with a mean age cited between 42 and 61.9 years.…”

Options for end stage vascular access: Translumbar catheter, arterial-arterial access or right atrial graft?

Background: Running out of vascular access for dialysis is thankfully rare, but despite this, most units will have a number of patients with few options and in a precarious state. The increasing longevity of dialysis patients portends more patients will reach minimal access options. End stage vascular access is poorly defined but classification may enable assessment and comparison of treatment options. Three options for patients with end stage access are a central venous catheter through a translumbar or transhepatic route, arterial-arterial prosthetic loop or a right atrial graft. Aims: The aims of this study are to provide a structured review of evidence for these procedures to allow application and guide practice for patients with end stage vascular access. Methods: A standardised search of published literature was performed of relevant studies. In addition, the references cited in those papers were assessed for any further available articles. All study types were included and reviewed by two authors independently. Primary outcomes were patient survival and secondary patency rate at 3 and 12 months. Secondary outcomes were long-term patency rates, mean time to cannulation and complications such as access dysfunction, thrombosis and infection. Summary: Based on the available evidence, it would appear that arterial-arterial prosthetic loop is a definitive option for maintaining dialysis access in patients with no more arteriovenous access options. Translumbar and transhepatic dialysis catheters may offer short- and medium-term options and right atrial grafts may also be suitable as an option where arterial-arterial prosthetic loop is unsuitable.

“…In the case of patients with infrarenal IVC occlusion, where the translumbar approach is infeasible, a transhepatic approach has been described ( 49 ). In this approach, middle or right hepatic venous access may be obtained via a percutaneous needle puncture in the eight intercostal space, mid axillary line.…”

Hemodialysis remains the most frequently chosen kidney replacement modality across the world. A well-functioning dialysis vascular access is critical to providing successful dialysis therapy. Despite its drawbacks, central venous catheter is commonly used as a vascular access to initiate hemodialysis therapy in acute and chronic settings. The growing recognition of providing patient centric care and per recommendations from the recently published Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative (KDOQI) Vascular Access Guidelines, selecting the appropriate patient population for a central venous catheter placement involves implementing the End Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD) Life-Plan strategy. The current review examines the circumstances and challenges that increasingly lead to the hemodialysis catheter being the default and the only available choice for patients. The current review outlines the clinical scenarios for selecting an appropriate patient for hemodialysis catheter use for short-term or long-term needs. The review further discusses clinical pointers to assist with the decision-making process on estimation on prospective catheter length selection, particularly in the intensive care unit setting without the aid of conventional fluoroscopic guidance. A hierarchy of conventional and non-conventional access sites is proposed based on KDOQI guidance and multi-disciplinary author experience. Non-conventional sites are reviewed, including complications and technical guidance, for trans-lumbar IVC, trans-hepatic, trans-renal, and other exotic sites.
