Prospective Randomized Study Comparing a Single-Cuff Self-Locating Catheter with a Single-Cuff Straight Tenckhoff Catheter in Peritoneal Dialysis

摘要

♦ Objectives:Peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheters are critical to the success of the technique. However, few studies provide evidence about which design helps to reduce complications. Self-locating catheters (SLCs) are used to avoid displacement of the catheter tip. The incidence of mechanical and infectious complications and catheter survival rate were assessed in Tenckhoff PD catheters.
