Peritoneal dialysis is becoming more important in the management of patients with
end-stage renal disease. Because of the efforts of the "Fistula First
Breakthrough Initiative," dialysis venous access in the United States has become
focused on promoting arteriovenous fistula creation and reducing the number of
patients who start dialysis with a tunneled catheter. This is important because
tunneled catheters can lead to infection, endocarditis, and early loss of more
long-term access. When planned for, peritoneal dialysis can offer patients the
opportunity to start dialysis at home without jeopardizing central access or the
possibilities of eventual arteriovenous fistula creation. The purpose of this
review is to highlight the indications, contraindications, and procedural methods
for implanting peritoneal dialysis catheters in the interventional radiology
suite.
