Experiences with minimally invasive techniques for peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter
placement are being increasingly described. Percutaneous placement of catheters using …

Objective Despite percutaneous fluoroscopy ensuring appropriate placement of peritoneal
dialysis (PD) catheters, the efficacy of this method is not well known. Therefore, we …

Various methods of peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter insertion are available. The purpose of
this study was to evaluate a percutaneous insertion technique using ultrasound (US) and …

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheters maybe inserted surgically or percutaneously. Since 1997,
209 patients in our unit have had a PD catheter inserted percutaneously with fluoroscopic …

Background Several peritoneal dialysis catheter (PDC) placement techniques have been
described. The objective of this study was to compare the fluoroscopy and ultrasound …

In the early 1950s and 1960s, peritoneal dialysis (PD) was used primarily to treat patients
with acute renal failure. Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) was introduced …

PURPOSE: To compare complications in catheters placed by the fluoroscopically guided
percutaneous method versus directly visualized surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A …

Chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an underutilized renal replacement therapy in treating
end-stage renal disease that has several advantages over hemodialysis. The success of …

As the incidence of end-stage renal disease is increasing, so is the pressure on the health
care system to promote less expensive and burdensome management solutions. Peritoneal …

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter placement is performed by surgeons, interventional
radiologists, and interventional nephrologists. Catheter insertion is accomplished through …
