Title: Sharp central venous recanalization in hemodialysis patients: A single institution experience

Biography

Biography: Mohammad Arabi

Abstract

Materials and Methods: Since January 2014, a series of 7 consecutive patients (4 male, 3 female), mean age 35 years (18-65 years), underwent sharp central venous recanalization. Indications included obtaining hemodialysis access (n=6) and restoration of superior vena cava (SVC) patency to alleviate occlusion symptoms and restore fistula function (n=1). The trans septal needle was used for sharp recanalization in six patients, while it could not be introduced in one patient due to total occlusion of the inferior vena cava (IVC). Instead, trans mediastinal SVC access using Chiba needle was obtained.
