What is Tunneled Catheter about?
This study evaluates the use of tunneled central venous catheters (TCVC) in hemodialysis patients, identifying their indications, complications, and lifespan. The primary reason for TCVC placement was waiting for arteriovenous fistula (AVF) maturation, with a significant number of complications observed, particularly infections and thrombosis. The findings suggest that while complications are common, many are benign, and the average lifespan of TCVC is relatively short, primarily due to AVF maturation.
