Double-lumen hemodialysis catheters designed to be placed via a subclavian vein approach have gained rapid acceptance over the past several years. Several studies have shown a significant rate of subclavian vein stenosis or occlusion after placement of these catheters. A large number of these patients require repeat placement of catheters with access often becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. Over the past 5 years, we have been asked to place 38 catheters in 34 patients that could not be placed at the bedside. Our procedure consists of obtaining a preliminary venogram to evaluate the reason for difficulty. The subclavian vein is then cannulated under direct fluoroscopic visualization while the peripheral venous line is injected with contrast material. Percutaneous angiographic techniques are then used to position the catheter. Satisfactory placement was obtained in all 38 cases. There were no complications, which is surprising considering the number of complications seen with the standard methods of insertion. This represents a new role for the interventional radiologist, one that can be important in minimizing the number of new dialysis sites in any one patient.

Migration of covered stents in thoracic central vein obstruction procedures in patients with hemodialysis: Case report and literature review.

Authors:
Bo Chen Qiquan Lai Swalay Fedally Ziming Wan

Front Cardiovasc Med 2022 27;9:954443. Epub 2022 Jul 27.

Department of Nephrology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, China.

Objective: The objective of the study is to present a case of hemodialysis in which the covered stent that had migrated into the right ventricle was retrieved by exploratory thoracotomy, and to review the literature on the diagnosis and treatment of stent migration in thoracic central vein obstruction (TCVO) procedures for hemodialysis patients.

Method: A systematic search of the PubMed database was performed to identify clinical presentations, imaging strategies, stent types, and treatment modalities for stent migration in hemodialysis patients.

Results: A total of 14 case reports on stent migration in TCVO procedures for hemodialysis patients were included and analyzed. Read More

Authors:
Yong Li Jianxi Guo Yanfang Zhang Jian Kong

J Interv Med 2022 May 21;5(2):103-110. Epub 2022 May 21.

Department of Interventional Radiology, Shenzhen People's Hospital (Second Clinical Medical College of Jinan University, First Affiliated Hospital of Southern University of Science and Technology), Shenzhen, China.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the incidence of abnormal catheter positioning and the effectiveness and safety of intravascular adjustment or removal of abnormally positioned catheters through percutaneous punctures.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 58 patients with abnormal catheter positioning, treated between January 2009 and June 2019. Intravascular adjustment of the migrated catheters and removal of the fractured catheters were performed through percutaneous puncture using a pigtail catheter, cobra catheter, and gooseneck snare.

Background: Axillary vein puncture is a popular puncture site for pacemaker implantation. However, due to the lacking of body surface markers, the current puncture method is too complicated and affect the popularization and application of axillary vein puncture. Here, we performed a new body surface landmark to make the blind axillary vein puncture simple and easy. Read More
