Key result
Prolonged use (>15 days) of subclavian dialysis catheters ipsilateral to permanent vascular access was associated with the development of subclavian vein stenosis 3 to 6 months after removal.
Why the study?
Does prolonged use of subclavian dialysis catheters ipsilateral to permanent vascular access cause subclavian vein stenosis in hemodialysis patients?
Case Report (n=3)
Does prolonged use of subclavian dialysis catheters ipsilateral to permanent vascular access cause subclavian vein stenosis in hemodialysis patients?
Prolonged use of subclavian dialysis catheters should be avoided ipsilateral to permanent vascular access due to the risk of late subclavian vein stenosis.

Single case report; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice on ipsilateral subclavian catheter use.
David O. Davis (1984) conducted a case report in Hemodialysis requiring temporary access (n=3). Prolonged (>15 days) use of subclavian dialysis catheters ipsilateral to permanent vascular access was evaluated on Development of subclavian vein (SCV) stenosis. Prolonged use (>15 days) of subclavian dialysis catheters ipsilateral to permanent vascular access was associated with the development of subclavian vein stenosis 3 to 6 months after removal.
