Is Tunneled Cuffed Catheter a Viable Link to Arteriovenous Fistula? An Experience from a Tertiary Care Centre
R Sowrabha1 , GK Prashant2 , Arpana Kedlaya ABSTRACT Introduction: The Tunneled Cuffed Catheter (TCC) is used as a bridge access for haemodialysis. Non-availability of fluoroscopy for insertion of TCC results in unnecessary waiting times and inappropriate use of non-tunneled catheters. Recently, ultrasound guidance is being used widely in developed countries for TCC insertions for urgent haemodialysis initiation.
