        [142731871]
According to the literature source of study performed involved a patient undergoing hemodialysis for three months via an intra-jugular tunneled dialysis catheter (ij-tdc) from a different manufacturer (1st device) inserted as a result of persistent staphylococcal exit site infection from a previous peritoneal dialysis (pd) catheter. Two (2) days later, the 1st ij-tdc device experienced poor flow and was then exchanged/replaced with another catheter (2nd device). The patient was subsequently dialyzed uneventfully for 5 months with a blood flow >250 ml/min until he presented with severe sepsis due to staphylococcal catheter-related infection (cri). The 2nd catheter was then removed immediately, and he was dialyzed via a temporary femoral catheter to resolve the issue.
