BACKGROUND: Intravascular fractured fragment of double lumen catheter with embolisation is a serious and rare complication. Another serious complication includes infection, thrombosis, arrhythmias, and pulmonary embolism. We report a successful surgical venous cut-down technique in the retrieval of an intravascular fractured fragment of tunnelled double lumen catheter in a hemodialysis patient. CASE REPORT: A 51-year-old female underwent hemodialysis through a tunnelled double lumen catheter and had her arterio-venous graft matured. During retrieval of tunnelled double lumen catheter procedure, the distal part of the catheter was fractured and slipped into the internal jugular vein. Chest radiograph revealed intravascular double lumen catheter extending from the distal part of the right internal jugular vein to right atrium. The procedure of foreign body retrieval was done the next day under general anaesthesia and C-Arm guidance using right internal jugular venous cut-down approach. A right-angle clamp was used to retrieve the fragment without any post-procedure complications. CONCLUSION: Intravascular fractured fragment of double lumen catheter is a dangerous situation as are all the intravascular foreign bodies. The choices of the technique for retrieval of the fractured fragment are varied. It depends on the type and site of a fractured fragment as well as the surgeon experiences.

Catheter related infections are common issue, a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with uremia. Clinical findings, including fever, redness, or tenderness at catheter site are unreliable for the diagnosis of catheter-related infection due to poor sensitivity and specificity. Study Design: Descriptive Cross sectional Study. Setting: Department of Nephrology, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, Karachi. Period: September 2014 to March 2015. Materials and Methods: All patients with age 25-50 years of either gender undergoing hemodialysis via double-lumen catheter were enrolled. Regular monitoring of temperature and WBC counts was carried out. If a patient develops fever (100 F or more) or leukocytosis (TLC 12,000 /mcl), a through re-examination, urinalysis and chest X-ray was done to exclude other causes of infection in this patient. Blood cultures from catheter tip and a peripheral blood culture was sent. Growth of the organism from both the cultures was noted and catheter related infection was termed positive if same organism s found to be present in both the cultures. Results: Mean age of the patients was 42.69 ±6.86 years. There were 75 (58.10%) females and 54 (41.90%) males. In majority of the patients, site of catheter was right internal jugular vein 54 (41.90%), followed by femoral vein 30 (23.30%), left internal jugular vein 24 (18.60%) and subclavian vein in 21 (16.30%) patients. Frequency of catheter related infection was found to be 19 (14.70%). Conclusion: The frequency of catheter related infection was found in 19 (14.70%) patients undergoing hemodialysis via double-lumen catheter.

Objectives: To determine whether the new double-lumen catheter made by OriGen Biomedical (Austin, TX) for venovenous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) would reduce recirculation and improve oxygenation during VV ECMO when compared with the Kendall double-lumen catheter (Kendall Healthcare Products, Mansfield, MA). Design: Prospective intervention study. Setting: The animal research laboratory at Children’s National Medical Center, Washington, DC. Subjects: Nine newborn lambs one to seven days old and weighing 4.4± 0.8 kg. Intervention: Animals were anesthetized, intubated, and ventilated. The ductus arteriosus was ligated. Femoral arterial and venous, cephalic jugular vein, and pulmonary artery catheters were placed. After systemic heparinization, the catheter to be tested, an OriGen catheter, was placed in the right internal jugular vein and advanced into the right atrium. The animal was placed on ECMO and stabilized, with the ventilator settings decreased to a peak inspiratory pressure of 15-20 cmH2O, peak end-expira-tory pressure of 5 cmH2O, rate of 15-25 breaths/min, and a fractional inspired oxygen concentration of 0.21-0.30. ECMO flows were increased in 100-ml increments from 200 to 600 ml/min with measurements taken 15 min after each change. The OriGen catheter was removed, the Kendall catheter was placed, and the studies were repeated. Measurements and Main Results: Heart rate, mean blood pressure, paO2, jugular cerebral oxygen saturation, pulmonary artery oxygen saturation, pump venous oxygen saturation, and postmembrane circuit pressures were measured at each study period. The OriGen catheter improved oxygenation, with higher systemic paO2, higher pulmonary artery and cerebral oxygen saturations, and lower pump venous oxygen saturations (indicating less recirculation). With the OriGen catheter, paO2 levels ranged from 69± 18 mmHg [9.2± 2.4 kPa] to 114 ± 45 mmHg [15.2± 6.0 kPa], compared range from 61± 15 mmHg [8.1± 2.0 kPa] to 87± 34 mmHg [11.5± 4.5 kPa] for the Kendall catheter. These findings indicate that, at all flow rates studied, less recirculation occurred with the OriGen catheter than with the Kendall catheter. The postmembrane pressures were significantly lower for the OriGen catheter at any given flow (from 30 ± 5 to 122 ± 18 mmHg) when compared with the Kendall catheter (from 77± 16 to 330 ± 78 mmHg). Conclusions: These findings indicate that the OriGen catheter resulted in a reduction of recirculation, thereby resulting in an improvement in oxygenation while on VV ECMO. The lower postmembrane pressure potentially could reduce the risk of ECMO circuit complications such as tubing rupture, bleeding complications, as well as hemolysis. This new catheter makes VV ECMO more effective and represents a design that could be used for neonatal and/or pediatric ECMO.

ABSTRACT  Objective: to investigate the incidence of infection related to the use of temporary double lumen Catheter (TDLC) in chronic renal disease undergoing hemodialysis. Methodology: this is about a descriptive exploratory study, from quantitative, performed in a clinic of nephrology of Natal/RN after approval by the ethics committee (protocol number 67/2008), April-June 2008, with data collected through a semi-structured form. The data were categorized and processed through Microsoft Excel XP. Results: 47 patients participated in the study, 70.21% male, 40.42% in the age group 60 to 79 years, married (61.70%), primary school (38.30%). The main co-morbidity was associated with hypertension (31.91%). As for the local (51.06%) catheters were implanted in the right jugular vein, mainly by loss of arteriovenous fistula (ACF)  (46.81%), followed by 44.68% who needed treatment immediately. As for the signs of infection were present in 38.30% patients, always a cause for withdrawal of the catheter. The maximum time of use was 120 days, but prevailed in the range 1 to 20 days with (40.43%). Conclusion: it was observed that the more permanent catheters increases the incidence of infection. Thus, the relevance of the educational activities of nurses, to patients with kidney, stimulating self-care, preventing and detecting early infection.

Here we report an extremely rare presentation of internal jugular vein catheterization, presenting as massive hemoptysis which was noted during right internal jugular vein cuffed hemodialysis catheter insertion of a 39-year-old man known-case of End-Stage Renal Disease. Chest roentgenogram and computerized tomography scan showed pleural effusion and misplacement of the tip of hemodialysis catheter in the posterior mediastinum causing possible damage to the right main bronchus. After chest tube insertion and removing the misplaced hemodialysis catheter, a proper cuffed catheter was inserted and the patient was discharged with an uneventful post-op course.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is characterized by malformation of the diaphragm, allowing for herniation of abdominal contents into the thoracic cavity. The most significant sequelae of this herniation are pulmonary hypoplasia and pulmonary hypertension, both contributing to significant morbidity and mortality. Multiple strategies exist to minimize respiratory compromise and improve outcome in a patient with CDH, including fetal intervention in selective cases, medical and pharmaceutical management, advanced ventilation strategies, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and complete surgical repair. Veno-arterial ECMO (circuit between the internal jugular vein and the carotid artery) is used in infants who are unstable and require aggressive cardiopulmonary support, and veno-venous ECMO (circuit with a double lumen catheter in the internal jugular vein) is used in infants who only need respiratory support.

The authors present a case in which transfemoral venous, transcardiac cerebral angiography was performed. In this 5-year-old girl with PHACE syndrome, both transfemoral and transbrachial arterial routes could not be used due to aortic interruption and aneurysmal dilation and small looping of the proximal portion of bilateral subclavian arteries. A 5-F balloon-tipped double-lumen catheter was advanced to the right atrium of the heart from the femoral vein. The catheter was then advanced to the left atrium through the patent foramen ovale and was further advanced to the left ventricle and then to the ascending aorta. The balloon catheter was exchanged for a 4-F catheter. Bilateral common carotid angiography was performed without difficulty. This transcardiac approach is useful in the unusual situation in which both femoral and brachial arterial routes are not available.

Abstract Hemodialysis has been accepted as a method of treatment in patients with CKD in stage 5. A-V fistula is the closest ideal hemodialysis vascular access, so that it can reduce morbidity and mortality of CKD patients. This research is a retrospective descriptive study with data obtained from the A-V fistula surgery form archive in the Vascular and Endovascular Division of the Department of Surgery, FK UNSRI in January 2018-December 2018 and from the patient's medical record. Data processing was carried out with SPSS 16.0. The results of the study obtained 203 patient data with the use of AV Shunt that met the inclusion criteria. The mean age of patients was 50.53 years. There were 114 (56%) male patients and 89 (44%) female patients. Risk factors such as smoking were found in 9 (4%) patients. History of the disease prior to experiencing chronic renal failure was hypertension in 115 patients (56.6%) and diabetes in 81 (40%). There were 69 patient’s Hb data before AV shunt with Hb <7 (1%) in 2 people, 7-8.9 (33%) 67 people, 9-10.9 (53%) 108 people,> 11 (13%) 26 people. 128 (63%) patients had double lumen catheters installed in the right jugular, 5 (2%) patients were placed in the left jugular, and 70 (34%) patients did not have a double lumen catheter. A total of 169 (83%) patients had a history of using AV Shunt. There were 71 (35%) patients with the wrist region anastomosis, 132 (65%) patients with cubiti region anastomosis. Native AV shunt was the most commonly performed in 202 (99.5%) patients. There were no recorded complications after AV Shunt placement in 99 (48.8%) patients, 51 (25.2%) patients had AVF branches, 23 (11.3%) had AV Shunt rupture, 18 (8.8%) AVF stenosis, 1 (0.5%) central stenosis, 1 (0.5%) thrombus, and 11 (5.4%) infections. A total of 167 (82.2%) patients took AV Shunt after 3 months.
