title: [Infectious complications caused by a hemodialysis catheter. Retrospective study of septicemia related to a dual lumen polyurethane hemodialysis catheter in the subclavian vein].
abstract: Of 52 patients started on hemodialysis during two years, 19 used a polyurethane subclavian dual lumen hemodialysis catheter for temporary or permanent vascular access. Three of them (15.8%) got catheter sepsis, and one died. The article discusses prevention of intravascular catheter-related infection, and methods for vascular access.
