Which catheter placement works best for dialysis patients?
NCT ID NCT07465445
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two methods for placing peritoneal dialysis catheters in adults with advanced chronic kidney disease. The Moncrief-Popovich technique buries the catheter under the skin before use, while the conventional method places it directly. Researchers will track how long each catheter lasts, how well it works, and rates of infection or other complications in 60 patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Peritoneal dialysis catheter placement procedure
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that one catheter placement method reduces infections and lasts longer, improving dialysis care for kidney patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Both techniques are already in use, so no major breakthrough is expected.
