Abstrakt: A study conducted at Patras University Hospital in Greece discusses the successful use of the hemodialysis reliable outflow (HeRO) graft device in managing recurrent infections in patients with tunneled dialysis catheters. The device is designed for patients who have exhausted other options for arteriovenous access or have obstructed central venous outflow. The researchers highlight the case of a patient with severe stenosis of the superior vena cava who experienced repeated infections and hospitalizations, but achieved successful outcomes with the HeRO graft after angioplasty. The study also reviews the existing literature on this technique and its comparisons with other options. For more information, readers can refer to the article published in the Saudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation. [Extracted from the article]
