Impact of Catheter Design on Catheter Survival in Chronic Hemodialysis Patients

Belgium302 participantsStarted 2010-03

Plain-language summary

The trial aims to compare the performance of two tunneled cuffed catheters (TCC) in chronic hemodialysis patients. The design of the catheter may affect the propensity for thrombosis and hence intraluminal infection, as well the percentage of recirculation and hence the efficiency of dialysis.
