Abstract

Aim: In this study, we aimed to evaluate, survival, and early and late complications of indwelling tunneled hemodialysis catheters used in hemodialysis patients. Material and Method: In our clinic, 154 patients catheters were retrospectively analyzed in terms of age, gender, indications for catheter, site of application, reasons for removal and complications between January 2010 and March 2012. Results: insertion causes as follows; 62.3% of patients (n = 96) had failed arteriovenous fistula (AVF) attempts, 24% (n = 37) 37 (24%) had waiting time for AVF maturation, 7.7% (n = 12) had a short life expectancy, 5.8% (n = 9) was because of patient’s preference. Tunelled hemodialysis catheter is inserted; in 83.1% (n = 128) of patients in right internal jugular vein, in 10.3% (n = 16) of patients in left internal jugular vein, in 3.2% (n = 4), 5 (3.2%) was left subclavian vein, 3.2% (n = 5) was femoral vein. catheters survival rate was 86.7% in 1 year follow-up and 82.4% in the second year for 2year follow-up duration. Conclusion: As a result, permanent tunnelled hemodialysis catheters are first preference for vascular access; because of high procedural success possibility of early use after operation, providing dialysis sufficient blood flow, allowing life expectancy is short and transplant candidates and the patient with not suitable vascular structures for AVF

HEMODİYALİZDE TÜNELLİ KATETERLER

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada hemodiyaliz hastalarında
kullanılan tünelli kateterlerin erken ve geç
dönem komplikasyonları ve açık kalım
oranlarını değerlendirmeyi amaçladık.
Materyal ve Metod: Kliniğimizde ocak 2010-
mart 2012 tarihleri arasında 181 kalıcı tünelli
kateter takılan 154 hasta yaş, cinsiyet, kateter
takma endikasyonu, katater uygulama yerleri,
çıkartılma sebepleri ve komplikasyonlar
açısından retrospektif olarak incelendi.
Bulgular: Kalıcı tünelli kateter takılma
nedenleri; hastaların % 62.3 (n=96) ü başarısız
arterio-venöz fistül (AVF) girişimleri, % 24
(n=37) 37 (%24) si AVF maturasyonunun
beklenmesi, % 7.7 (n=12) si kısa yaşam
beklentisi, % 5.8 (n=9) i hasta tercihinden
dolayı idi. Kateter yerleştirme yerleri ise;
hastaların % 83.1 (n=128) ine sağ internal
juguler vene, % 10.3 (n=16) üne sol internal
juguler vene, % 3.2 (n=4) 5 (%3.2) sine sol
subclavian vene, % 3.2 (n=5) sine femoral
vene kateter takıldı. Takılan tünelli kalıcı
hemodiyaliz kateterlerin 2 yıllık takiplerinde
katater açık kalım oranılarının 1 yıllık % 86.7,
2 yıllık ise %82.4 olarak saptandı.
Sonuç: Sonuç olarak kalıcı tünelli hemodiyaliz
kateterleri, yüksek işlem başarısına ve düşük
erken dönem komplikasyonlarına sahip,
işlemden hemen sonra diyalize girebilme
imkanı sağlayan, diyaliz için yeterli kan
akımını sağlayan yaşam beklentisi kısa olan ve
transplantasyon adayları ve AVF için uygun
vasküler yapıları olmayan hastalar için ilk
tercih edilmesi gereken bir damar erişim
seçeneğidir.
