Objective:To explore the risk factors of hypotension in patients with hemodialysis-related superior vena cava diseases.Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study. The maintenance hemodialysis patients diagnosed as superior vena cava stenosis ≥50% or occlusion in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January 1, 2019 to March 31, 2022 were selected. The patients were divided into hypotensive group and non-hypotensive group according to the occurrence of hypotension during non-dialysis period. The differences of general clinical data, cardiac ultrasound parameters and blood biochemical indexes between the two groups were compared. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk factors of hypotension in patients with hemodialysis-related superior vena cava lesions.Results:A total of 202 patients with hemodialysis-related superior vena cava lesions were included, of whom 84 patients (41.6%) developed hypotension during non-dialysis. Compared with the non-hypotensive group, patients in the hypotensive group had longer dialysis age ( Z=2.093, P=0.036), shorter left atrial diameter ( t=2.316, P=0.022), lower aortic valve orifice flow rate ( t=3.702, P=0.001) and serum calcium ( t=2.320, P=0.021), thicker left ventricular posterior wall ( t=3.042, P=0.003), lower proportions of hypertension history ( χ2=9.125, P=0.003), and higher proportion of residual superior vena cava ≤30% or occlusion ( χ2=8.940, P=0.003) and azygous vein opening ( χ2=11.067, P=0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that no history of hypertension ( OR=0.383, 95% CI 0.156-0.943, P=0.037), slow aortic valve orifice flow ( OR=0.207, 95% CI 0.062-0.695, P=0.011) and low blood calcium ( OR=0.236, 95% CI 0.066-0.841, P=0.026) were the independent influencing factors of hypotension in patients with hemodialysis-related superior vena cava diseases. Conclusions:Hemodialysis patients with severe stenosis or occlusion of the superior vena cava during non-dialysis have a higher risk of hypotension. No history of hypertension, slow aortic valve orifice flow, and low blood calcium are the independent risk factors of hypotension in patients with hemodialysis-related superior vena cava diseases.

Objective To evaluate clinical value of interventional radiology in difficult extraction of stuck tunnel hemodialysis catheter (TCC).Methods Maintenance hemodialysis patients who required removal of stuck TCC in our hospital from June 2015 to June 2017 were enrolled.Medical history and preoperative examinations were carefully evaluated.Patients were pulled rotationally the catheter under the fluoroscopy guidance and exchanged the TCC.The information and procedure-related complication were recorded.Balloon dilation or snare technique would be used when failed to remove the stuck catheter.Results A total of 22 patients were enrolled,with an average age of (67.2±18.5) years,a median dialysis time of 54(18,106) months,and catheter indwelling time of 37(14,82) months.All patients were successfully removed the stuck catheter,among which 18 cases (81.8%) had fibrin sheath and 13 cases with sheath calcification.TCC mainly stuck in the junction of internal jugular vein and innominate vein,middle and lower innominate vein and middle part of superior vena cava.No procedure-related major complication occurred.Sixteen cases (72.7%) complained of transient substernal extraction pain and 1 case occurred groin hematoma during operation.Conclusions Catheter incarceration problem should be alert to the hemodialysis patients with catheter indwelling time of more than 2-3 years.The minimally invasive interventional techniques including rotationally pull-out under fluoroscopy guidance and balloon angioplasty are safe and effective in removal of the stuck TCC.

Objective To analyze the validity of Caprini venous thrombosis risk assessment model (Caprini RAM) in the tunneled cuffed dialysis catheters (TCCs) dysfunction patients with central venous thrombosis (CVT).Methods A total of 187 maintenance hemodialysis patients with TCCs dysfunction admitted to West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January 2013 to September 2016 were analyzed retrospectively.According to the chest computed tomography venography results,patients were divided into CVT group and non CVT group.Their general clinical data (age,gender,primary diseases,history of dialysis access,etc.),blood biochemical data (hemoglobin,serum albumin,blood lipid,etc.) and 40 risk factors of Caprini RAM were collected.Caprini RAM scores were computed for risk stratification of thrombosis.Two groups were compared to analyze the value of Caprini RAM in these patients by statistics.Results One hundred and twenty CVT patients and sixty-seven non CVT patients were enrolled.In CVT group the duration of dialysis,hemoglobin and hematocrit were higher than those in non CVT group (all P < 0.05).There was no significant difference between the two groups in gender,age,primary diseases,duration of catheter dependence,catheter tip position,usage of urokinase (all P > 0.05).The average score of Caprini RAM in CVT group and non CVT group did not show statistical difference (6.23+ 1.81 vs 6.19+ 1.95,P=0.913).All patients were stratified into higher risk level and highest risk level according to Caprini RAM.Higher risk level patients accounted for 18.18% and highest risk level patients accounted for 81.82%.As patients with inequable Caprini RAM scores,their incidence of CVT did not differ statistically (x2=0.105,P=0.746).CVT incidence rate of higher risk level patients was 61.76%,and of highest risk level patients was 64.70%.Conclusions Caprini RAM verifies that maintenance hemodialysis patients with TCCs dysfunction have high risk of venous thrombosis,but this model fails to distinguish patients between CVT group and non CVT group.Its clinical diagnosis is relatively limited and needs to be further explored.

Objective To explore the effects of intra-jugular vein dual lumen catheter lock heparin in different concentrations on the coagulation function,hemorrhagic tendency and catheter thrombosis risk in hemodialysis patients,and to investigate the reasonable lock heparin cuncentration. Method Ninety end stage renal disease (ESRD)patients receiving regular hemodialysis were enrolled and randomly assigned into 3 groups(n=30):Group A(pure heparin lock solution,6250 U/m1),GrouP B(medium heparin lock solution,1040 U/ml)and Group C(low hepafin lock solution,625 U/ml).The coagulation indexes were determined in short term.Complications such as bleeding,thrombosis,infection and thrombocytopenia were monitored.Results Prothrombin time(PT),actiwtted partial thromboplastin time(APTT)and thrombin time (TT)were significantly prolonged in Group A(P<0.01);only APTT was signifieanlly prolonged in Group B:however,no significant changes were observed in Group C.Hemorrhage risk was much higher in Group A than that in Group B and C (26.7%vs 10%and 0.P<0.05).Catheter thrombosis incidence was significantly higher in Group C than that in Group A and B(23.3%vs 0and 10%,P<0.05).Only 1 suspected catheter related infection was found in Group C,and 2cases of moderated thrombocytopenia in Group A. Concltrsion Moderate concentration of lock heparin solution has the best balance of hemorrhagic and thrombotic risk,and should be recommended to most of regular hemodialysis patients.
