| Popis: | With aging population and chronic kidney disease burden increasing worldwide, the need for renal replacement therapy is rising and our patients are getting more complex due to comorbidities and long-standing kidney disease. Deteriorated vascular capital is a frequent feature we have to deal with these days, making even obtaining routine blood tests a hard task. We present two case reports of peritoneal dialysis patients without a peripheral vein access were a Port-a-Cath (Port-a-Cath® Deltec® Smiths Medical) was placed to sort out long-term access. Port-a-Cath manipulation was simple, safe and had no complications neither at implantation nor during its use. We believe that Port-a-Cath placement is an option to be considered when coping with end-stage venous access. |
