Brief Summary:

Numerous catheter designs have been studied to increase efficacy and minimize complications of catheter hemodialysis. Major complications of catheters include thrombosis, central venous stenosis, infection, and dialysis inadequacy. Thrombosis must be avoided if possible because using too many catheters may exhaust all of the catheter insertion sites on the body, as well as increase the risk of infection. This prospective study compares the complications and general outcomes of patients who receive hemodialysis using the mainstream Palindrome catheter versus the newer BioFlo DuraMax catheter.

This study will examine outcomes of patients who receive hemodialysis using either the Palindrome catheter or the BioFlo catheter. Patients will be observed and outcomes will be recorded for three to six months. Outcomes will be analyzed and compared to draw conclusions on which catheter produces less catheter thrombosis.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Active Comparator: Bioflo Goup
This group will have dialysis using the Bioflo catheter.
 Device: Bioflo Dialysis Catheter
The catheter placement procedure will be performed in the interventional radiology suite. The catheter will be inserted subcutaneously through incision in the chest through the tract.
Active Comparator: Palindrome Group
This group will have dialysis using the Palindrome catheter.
 Device: Palindrome Dialysis Catheter
The catheter placement procedure will be performed in the interventional radiology suite. The catheter will be inserted subcutaneously through incision in the chest through the tract.


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Catheter thrombosis rate of Bioflo catheters vs. Palindrome catheters. [ Time Frame: 1 month ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Catheter thrombosis rate of Bioflo catheters vs. Palindrome catheters. [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
  2. Catheter thrombosis rate of Bioflo catheters vs. Palindrome catheters. [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    If necessary, we will monitor the catheter thrombosis rate of Bioflo catheters vs. Palindrome catheters.

  3. Cost Analysis [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
    To perform a cost-analysis and economic burden of using Bioflo catheters compared to Palindrome catheters due to catheter thrombosis and exchange.
