Comparative Outcomes of Tunneled and Non‐Tunneled Catheters as Bridge to Arteriovenous Fistula Creation in Incident Hemodialysis Patients
CRBSI rates and catheter patency were comparable between TCs and NTCs at 6 weeks, but TCs demonstrated better survival beyond this period. When early AVF creation is ensured, NTCs may serve as a viable short-term vascular access option, particularly in resource-limited settings.
