    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Nephrology
    • Medical Devices

    Background:

    • Vascular access is crucial for hemodialysis.
    • Short-term access often requires reliable and safe catheter options.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the five-year experience with the McIntosh double-lumen catheter for vena caval access in hemodialysis.
    • To describe the catheter, insertion technique, performance, and complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 88 patients undergoing hemodialysis.
    • Utilization of the McIntosh double-lumen catheter for vena caval access.
    • Documentation of insertion procedures and patient outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • The McIntosh catheter demonstrated a rapid, simple, and effective means of access.
    • The device proved to be safe for short-term hemodialysis.
    • Complication data was collected and analyzed for the patient cohort.

    Conclusions:

    • The McIntosh double-lumen catheter is a safe and effective option for short-term hemodialysis via vena caval access.
    • The catheter's ease of use and performance support its clinical utility.
