Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the incidence of large bore hemodialysis catheter malfunction in the setting of COVID-19.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective review was performed of all patients who underwent placement of a temporary hemodialysis catheter after developing kidney injury after COVID-19 infection at our institution. Data collected included demographic information, procedure related information, and incidence of replacement due to lumen thrombosis. Groups were compared using students
RESULTS: Sixty-four patients (43M, mean age 63.2 ± 13.3) underwent placement of temporary hemodialysis catheter placement for kidney injury related to COVID 19 infection. Thirty-one (48.4%) of catheters were placed via an internal jugular vein (IJV) access and 33 (52.6%) of catheters were placed via a common femoral vein (CFV) access. Overall, 15 (23.4%) catheters required replacement due to catheter dysfunction. There were no differences in demographics in patients who required replacement to those who did not (
CONCLUSION: A high incidence of temporary dialysis catheter lumen dysfunction was present in patients with COVID-19 infection. Catheters placed via a femoral vein access had more frequent dysfunction with shorter indwelling time.
