Tunneled Hemodialysis Catheters

  

The placement and performance of tunneled (cuffed)hemodialysis central venous catheters is presented in this section. Also presented is data on placement of Port-cath and Life Site devices by nephrologists. Data on non-infectious complications of tunneled dialysis catheters is presented.
