Central Vein Stenosis in Patients with Central Vein Manipulation: A Single Center Experience

Introduction: Central vein catheterization (CVC) is one of the main risk factors for central stenosis (CVS) occurrence in hemodialysis population. In this work we aimed to evaluate previous venous manipulation, clinical presentation, and complications patients with proved CVS. Material Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all angiographies attending our public hospital center treatment from 2013 2018 (n=209). confirmed CVS (n=29, 14%), evaluated history prior CVC cardiac rhythm devices (CDR), as well demographics cardiovascular factors. Results: identified 31 29 who underwent angiography. Most these patients, 75.9% (n=22), had at least (ipsilateral or not); ipsilateral short-term was found 34.4% (n=10) long-term 41.4% (n=12) patients. All a CRD (n=4, 13.8%), developed an Conclusion: Prevalence detected population significant likely underestimated. A high percentage CVC. The number similar that CVC, hinting important role factor do
