Article Abstract
Although use of the autogenous arteriovenous fistula is the first choice for vascular access for hemodialysis, the tunneled cuffed catheter (TCC) remains an important alternative method that is applied widely in maintenance hemodialysis for patients with end-stage renal disease. In addition to common complications, such as thrombosis, infection, formation of a fibrin sheath, or central vein stenosis, TCC dysfunction, such as kinks, cuff detachment, or mechanical destruction, can be easily overlooked. The reasons for these clinical problems are multifactorial and include the insertion handling, presence of diabetes mellitus, catheter type, malnutrition, and the patient's body habitus. This minireview describes our experience with TCC and the current literature on managing TCC dysfunction.

The relationship between different types of vascular access in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients and patient prognosis is controversial. The vascular access of patients from various dialysis centers in Wuhan was summarized, and its relationship with prognosis was analyzed. The characteristics of MHD patients treated at 70 dialysis centers in the Wuhan Hemodialysis Quality Control System from 2017 to 2023 were collected.

We report here a case of allergic eczematoid dermatitis related to hemodialysis access. The patient was initially suspected to have puncture needle allergies or dialyzer reactions until the patient develops a similar response after switching from an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) to a tunneled cuffed catheter (TCC) for dialysis. Thereby, we highly suspected that the allergen was the iodine-containing disinfectant used prior to dialysis, and the patient was ultimately diagnosed with iodine-containing disinfectant allergy.

Rationale & Objective: It is unknown whether administration of prophylactic systemic antibiotics immediately before tunneled catheter insertion can prevent early hemodialysis catheter-related bloodstream infections (HDCRBSI). We aimed to estimate the effect of systemic prophylactic antibiotics on early HDCRBSI.

Purpose: To explore the value of transesophageal echocardiography(TEE) in the assessment of complications associated with hemodialysis tunneled cuffed catheters (TCC) in the superior vena cava (SVC).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent haemodialysis with TCC in SVC and developed catheter-related complications from 1 March 2020 to 31 July 2024 at Xuzhou Central Hospital. TEE and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) were performed on these patients at the same time.
