... Abstract Background: The success rate of peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter insertion is known to vary among different operators and may be influenced by many factors such as patient and various situational factors. Traditionally, surgeons have inserted Tenckhoff catheters by mini-laparotomy...

... Abstract Successful performance of peritoneal dialysis (PD) is predicated upon the presence of a properly functioning catheter. Several techniques are available for placing PD catheters among which peritoneoscopic and laparoscopic techniques are gaining broader acceptance. Once placed, PD...

... Abstract Tunneled, cuffed central venous catheters are used extensively throughout thehemodialysis patient population as a permanent arterio-venous access. One of the majorcomplications associated with these devices is infection. The strategies aimed at reducingcatheter-related infection...

... Abstract Vascular access in hemodialysis is a major point of concern in the management ofchronic patients. Although arteriovenous fistula remains as the access of first choice, tunneledcentral venous catheters are still commonly used. Infection remains the principal causeof catheter dysfunction...

... Abstract Peritoneal catheter exit-site and tunnel infections remain critical problems in patientsundergoing peritoneal dialysis. Catheter-related peritonitis occurs in about 20% of patientsand exit-site infections are responsible for catheter removal in more than one-fifth of thecases...

... Abstract Catheter angiography has been considered the standard of reference for the diagnosis of spontaneous cervical artery dissection (CAD), but carries a risk of complications and does not demonstrate the arterial wall. The most common angiographic finding is a relatively smooth or slightly...
