Over-catheter tract suture to prevent bleeding and air embolism after tunnelled catheter removal.
Journal of Vascular Access 2017 March 22
INTRODUCTION: Severe, life-threating, complications might occur on dialysis catheter removal.
METHODS: We present a useful technique that may prevent vascular air embolism and severe bleeding.
RESULTS: The suture is placed around the catheter and tied over previous tract just after device removal.
CONCLUSIONS: Applying a compressing suture to the tract left after removal of a tunnelled haemodialysis catheter is a simple manoeuvre that could prevent severe complication.
