Tri-centric study compares locking techniques to prevent thrombosis in hemodialysis catheters, suggesting enhanced effectiveness.

The aim is to develop a strategy that effectively prevents thrombosis in central venous hemodialysis catheters.
Conducted a tri-centric prospective study.
Compared two locking solutions: low molecular weight heparin mixed with standard heparin versus standard heparin alone.
Evaluated the effectiveness in preventing thrombosis and catheter dysfunction.
The mixed locking solution significantly extended the catheter's duration of use.
No cases of hemorrhagic syndrome were reported, indicating safety.
Demonstrated better efficacy in preventing catheter thrombosis compared to the conventional method.

Skalli et al. (2026) studied this question.
