Abstract

Recanalization of occluded central veins for insertion of hemodialysis catheter is a particular attractive option in patients who are catheter dependent for hemodialysis, as it delays exhaustion of conventional venous accesses. Literature detailing techniques for catheter placement in recanalized veins remain sparse. We hereby describe a safe and economical technique of using dilator venotomy to allow catheter placement following successful recanalization.
