Central venous stenosis after subclavian versus internal jugular dialysis catheter insertion (CITES) in adults in need of a temporary central dialysis catheter: study protocol for a two-arm, parallel-group, non-inferiority randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The right internal jugular vein is currently recommended for temporary central dialysis catheters (tCDC) based on results from previous studies showing a lower incidence of central vein stenosis compared to the subclavian vein. Data is however conflicting, and there are several advantages when the subclavian route is used for tCDCs. This prospective, controlled, randomised, non-inferiority study aims to compare the incidence of post-catheterisation central vein stenosis between the right subclavian and the right internal jugular routes.

Methods

Adult patients needing a tCDC will be included from several hospitals and randomised to either subclavian or internal jugular vein catheterisation with a silicone tCDC. Inclusion continues until 50 patients in each group ha
