Patency rates of dysfunctional central hemodialysis venous catheter: Comparison between catheter exchange alone and catheter exchange with fibrin sheath angioplasty - 01/03/19
Abstract |
Purpose |
The purpose of this study was to compare patency rates and risk of obstruction of catheter exchange (CE) with that of CE with fibrin sheath angioplasty (CE+FSA) in dysfunctional tunneled central hemodialysis venous catheter (CHVC).
Materials and methods |
A total of 107 consecutive patients with dysfunctional CHVC were retrospectively included. There were 66 men and 41 women with a mean age of 67.8±12.5 (SD) years (range: 23.0–86.0 years). Seventy-three of 107 patients (68.2%) underwent CE procedure and 34 of 107 (31.8%) underwent CE+FSA. Kaplan–Meier log-rank test and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to determine patency rates and risk of obstruction according to type of endovascular procedure.
Results |
Patency rates after endovascular procedures at 3, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months follow up were 75%, 75%, 65%, 65% and 65% in CE+FSA group and 70%, 65%, 62%, 30% and 0% in CE group. Mean time until obstruction of CHVC was 778.4 days after CE+FSA and 497 days after CE (P=0.211). Endovascular procedure was unrelated to risk of obstruction in adjusted model (HR=1.34; P=0.515).
Conclusions |
Our findings suggest that both techniques are equivalent in terms of patency and safety results, so other aspects as cost assessment should be considered when choosing between both techniques.
