PERMCATH PLACEMENT Vascular Expert kolkata
A permcath or tunnelled catheter goes into the main vein to which all veins of our hand orleg enters. These cathters are easy to place, easy to handle, lasts for few months to a year and easy to get dialysis done. But kept for long they can cause severe infection and narrowing and can choke the main vein and thereby stop all options of future AV fistula or graft.
Permcath therefore should be used in patients in whom fitula or graft is not possible or has failed or patient needs immediate dialysis and has no fistula.
