Abstract

AIM: Vascular access is of prime importance for patients on hemodialysis. Most of the unplanned hemodialysis sessions are performed via venous catheters in our country. In the present study, we aimed to study early complications of placement of temporary or permanent hemodialysis catheters to patients with acute and/or chronic renal failure.
