Comparing central vein stenosis from dialysis catheters in subclavian versus jugular veins

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the incidence of central vein stenosis (CVS) resulting from temporary hemodialysis catheterization in either the subclavian or jugular veins. It is a multicentric, prospective, randomized, controlled, assessor-blinded trial conducted in three hospitals in southern Sweden. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive a silicone temporary central dialysis catheter (tCDC) in either vein, with follow-up assessments including CT venography and ultrasound to evaluate CVS. The study aims to provide insights into the safety and efficacy of catheter placement techniques.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Adults (18 years of age or older).
* In need of a tCDC with an expected treatment time of at least 7 days.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Intravenous pacemaker or a PICC-line via right-sided central veins in situ.
* Known right-sided CVS.
* AV fistula on the right upper extremity.
* History of central venous vascular interventions including stents, dilatations and more (but not previous central venous catheterization).
* Central venous catheter in the right internal jugular vein or in the right subclavian vein in situ.
* Either the right jugular vein or the right subclavian vein unavailable for catheterization due to, e.g., local skin infection, thrombosis or inability to visualize the vein with ultrasound.
* Known allergy to iodinated contrast agents.
* BMI \>35 kg/m2.
* No study physician available for the catheterization.
