Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Current options for hemodialysis access have significant limitations. Chronic central venous catheters have even more problems. In an effort to surmount many of the problems associated with chronic central venous catheters, totally implantable access systems have been designed. This article reviews the 2 devices currently available or under investigation for use as dialysis ports. Operational principles are described, and insertion technique is highlighted. Performance characteristics are then addressed. |
