@entity715 caused by XXXX double-lumen subclavian superior vena cava catheter and hemodialysis.

@entity1 @entity2994 @entity1151 @entity715 @entity2548 @entity2636
During an 18-month period, 82 consecutive @entity1 (37 @entity1 and 45 @entity1 ), with a mean age of 50 yr (range 15 to 74), underwent hemodialysis with 91 @entity2636 double-lumen subclavian superior vena cava catheters inserted via the right subclavian vein. Upon catheter removal, venograms were performed in 53 which revealed @entity715 in 13. Autopsy performed in 13 other @entity1 revealed @entity715 in three. Mean catheter duration was 27 days (range 1 to 138). Catheter duration was significantly (p less than .01) longer in the 16 cases complicated by @entity715 . There was no significant difference in the frequency of @entity715 between @entity1 and @entity1 . Two @entity1 developed symptoms of subclavian @entity2994 after the creation of an @entity2548 on the same side as a previous hemodialysis catheter. Overall, @entity715 was found in 23% and increased with longer catheter duration. We recommend phlebography to exclude @entity715 before creating an @entity2548 on the same side as the previous hemodialysis catheter. There was no case of clinical discernible @entity1151 .
