Central Lines

Background and objectives: For patients who rely on a tunneled cuffed catheter, the internal jugular vein is the preferred site of insertion. A few studies have suggested that the posterior approach for central lines is equivalent or better in comparison to the conventional central approach. However, there have been fewer studies examining tunneled cuffed catheter insertion using the posterior approach. We have performed many posterior insertions of tunneled cuffed catheters in our practice, and because the technique has not yet been comprehensively studied for long-term use, we performed a retrospective study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of posterior approach for tunneled cuffed catheter in maintained hemodialysis patients. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of 200 hemodialysis patients who were treated with tunneled cuffed catheters over a period of 3 years. There were 104 patients in the study group, as well as a 96-patient control group, who underwent catheter insertion by central approach. The clinical follow-up data were collected and analyzed. Results: All catheters were successfully placed. The mean primary patency days per catheter were 712 catheter days for the study group and 585 catheter days for the control group. The episode of catheter infection was similar in both groups (p = 0.874), but the case of total catheter dysfunction was significantly lower in the study group compared to the control group (p = 0.006). The cumulative patency of catheters was higher in the study group than that in the control group (p = 0.02), while patient survival was the same in the two groups (p = 0.325). Conclusion: The posterior approach is safe, and similar infection rates were observed with lower dysfunction rates compared to tunneled catheter insertion by the conventional central approach.

Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to clarify the long-term and short-term outcomes of consecutive patients who underwent thoracoscopic esophagectomy in prone position using a preceding anterior approach for the resection of esophageal cancer at a single institution. Methods We retrospectively reviewed a database of 690 patients with thoracic esophageal cancer who had undergone a thoracoscopic esophagectomy (TE, 351 patients) or an esophagectomy through thoracotomy (OE, 343 patients) between 2003 and 2017. To compare the long-term outcomes of TE and OE, we used a propensity score matching analysis and a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. To analyze the short-term outcomes of TE, patients were chronologically divided into three groups (117 patients per group). As for thoracoscopic procedure, the esophagus was mobilized from the anterior structure during the first step and from the posterior structure during the second step. The lymph nodes around the esophagus were also dissected anteriorly and posteriorly. The intraoperative factors, the number of dissected lymph nodes, and the incidence of adverse events were compared among the three period groups. Results As for long term outcome, 203 patients from each group, for a total of 406 patients, were completely selected and paired. The 5-year survival of the TE patients (66.8%) was better than that of the OE patients (56.4%) (P = 0.044). The thoracoscopic times were 226 min, 241 min, and 214 min (P < 0.001), and the blood losses during the thoracoscopic procedure were 36.1 mL, 43.3 mL, and 18.0 mL (P < 0.001), respectively, according to the period groups. The mean numbers of harvested lymph nodes in the chest were 22.2, 25.1, and 28.9 (P < 0.001). The rates of recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy were 23.9%, 29.9%, and 8.6% (P < 0.001). Conclusion The long-term outcome of TE patients might be better than that of OE patients. As for the short-term outcomes, intraoperative factors, quality of lymph node dissection, and reduction of adverse events were best in the third period group. Establishment of standard procedure and accumulation of surgical cases seemed to make TE a safe and effective procedure for esophageal cancer.
