WCN25-4241 CENTRAL VEIN STENOSIS -CLINICAL PRESENTATION ,INTERVENTION AND OUTCOME AT OUR CENTRE

Central vein stenosis is significant and frequently encountered problem in patients with maintenance hemodialysis. It is a known complication of indwelling catheters like peripherally inserted catheters, long term cuffed hemodialysis catheters, pacemaker wires. Although central venosus stenosis and occlusion are common, they are often underdiagnosed, resulting in significant long term effect such as venous hypertension leading to inadequate dialysis delivery due to recirculation, reduced AVF maturation, lower long term patency rates, superior vena cava syndrome.
