Inserting peritoneal dialysis catheters using a bedside technique
Official title: Prospective Observational Cohort Study on the Outcomes of Percutaneous Inserted PD Catheters
Run by Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel · NCT06065982 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new way to insert peritoneal dialysis catheters at the bedside for patients who can't have general anesthesia, to see if it can help more people access this treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults over 18 years old who require a peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are unable to provide informed consent or have a life expectancy of less than three months may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
The PREDICT project focuses on the insertion of peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheters using a percutaneous strategy, which can be performed at the bedside under local anesthesia. This method is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot undergo general anesthesia due to severe heart failure or other health issues. The study aims to gather demographic and clinical data from adult patients requiring PD catheter insertion between March 2023 and March 2026. By comparing this approach to traditional laparoscopic techniques, the project seeks to expand access to PD for more patients.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enable more patients with end-stage kidney disease to receive timely and effective peritoneal dialysis.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with similar percutaneous techniques, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
