Comparative StudyImage-guided insertion of the Uldall tunneled hemodialysis catheter: technical success and clinical follow-up.
To evaluate the technical success, complication rates, and survival time of the Uldall double-lumen catheter placed by interventional radiologists in patients presenting to a hemodialysis clinic. ⋯ This catheter is recommended for acute and longer term hemodialysis for patients without peripheral vascular access. It can be inserted percutaneously, the same internal jugular vein can be used repeatedly with few complications and good blood flow, and the technique can be easily learned by any experienced angiographer.
