Abstract:
The authors report three cases of peritoneal dialysis catheter obstruction in children. The catheters were successfully cleared by a combination of urokinase and Fogarty catheter manipulation. This technique can be used to clear fibrin and omentum from obstructed peritoneal dialysis catheters.
