title: [Cannulation of the internal jugular vein with 2 silastic catheters. A new method of vascular access for hemodialysis].
abstract: The internal jugular vein cannulation (IJV) using two silastic catheters (CT) is a new vascular access method for temporary and immediate use in hemodialysis. From November 1982 to November 1984, 138 pairs of CT were used in 129 uremic patients for a mean duration of 54 days per patient (1 to 17 months) permitting to carry out more than 3000 dialysis sessions. Five complications were observed: 3 skin exit infections with 2 septicemias cured with antibiotics and CT removal, 2 vascular thrombosis treated with urokinase and anticoagulant; 1 anaphylactoid reaction at the time of insertion. IJV CT offers a convenient alternative to conventional percutaneous vascular access method that can be safely proposed in long term hemodialysis.
