Rare complication of a dialysis catheter insertion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Insertion of a dialysis catheter is a very common procedure in renal medicine, which is associated with one or more complications in ∼15% of patients. Central venous catheter vascular erosion is a rare but serious complication, the incidence appears to be between 0.4 and 1% which can be difficult to diagnose, leading to increased morbidity and mortality. We report a case of a persistent left-sided superior vena cava (PLSVC) and a possible central venous catheter vascular erosion following insertion of a left-sided internal jugular dialysis catheter. We discuss the mechanisms, diagnosis and measures to limit vascular erosion and also briefly discuss PLSVC.

Background: Laparoscopic techniques for the placement of peritoneal dialysis catheters are becoming increasingly popular. Recently, with the improvements in laparoscopic surgery, various methods for the insertion of peritoneal dialysis catheters have been reported, indicating that the laparoscopic insertion is preferred over the open and percutaneous techniques. The aim of this study was to int...
متن کاملBowel perforation by a peritoneal dialysis catheter: report of two cases
BACKGROUND Complications of peritoneal dialysis (PD) such as pain and catheter leakage are frequently reported. Delayed bowel perforation of a PD catheter is a rare adverse event but a serious complication associated with significant mortality. Bowel perforation of a PD catheter is difficult to differentiate from PD-related peritonitis and likely to result in a delay in diagnosis. Here, we repo...
متن کاملA rare complication of Tenckhoff catheter insertion
A 57-year-old diabetic lady developed end-stage renal failure in 1998. A Tenckhoff catheter was inserted surgically in 1999. At the time of insertion, intra-abdominal adhesions were noted, which were thought to be related to her two previous caesarean sections. There were no gynaecological problems of note. Repeated episodes of peritonitis necessitated the removal of the Tenckhoff catheter in D...

Background: The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the characteristics of patients, treated by acute peritoneal dialysis (PD). We also assessed the indications for PD, PD-associated complications and neonatal outcomes in our patients. Methods: During five years, 30 term newborns underwent temporary cycling PD. The procedure was performed by applying the manual technique. A straight ...
متن کاملAn unusual complication of a peritoneal dialysis catheter.
Peritoneal dialysis catheters have undergone various modifications over time in an effort to reduce technique failure. Complications resulting from the catheter insertion technique can contribute significantly to technique failure. We report one such complication, highlighting the importance of careful surgical technique in ensuring proper catheter placement.
