Description
Freda Zhi Yun Chua and colleagues report five years of kidney-doctor-led dialysis catheter placement in a 2026 study. Peritoneal dialysis needs a working abdominal catheter, and delays block patients from starting. A fluoroscopy-guided service run by nephrologists at one centre offered a faster route than surgery.
Records covered 253 insertions in 243 patients between 2019 and 2023. Dialysis started successfully in nearly every case, and urgent starts began a median of one day after placement. Serious bleeding was uncommon, and no early infections, leaks, or organ injuries appeared within thirty days. Six patients with polycystic kidney disease, usually a hard group, were also treated successfully.
