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.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of chronic kidney disease requiring initiation of renal replacement therapy with planned peritoneal dialysis. * Candidate for PD catheter placement by percutaneous techniques (either conventional modified percutaneous or Moncrief-Popovich). * Provide informed consent and available for clinical follow-up. Exclusion Criteria: * Recent major abdominal surgery * Active abdominal infections at the time of catheter placement * Anatomical contraindications to peritoneal dialysis * Requiring urgent start of PD (uremic syndrome, sever hyperkalemia, severe metabolic acidosis, negligible residual renal function, severe hypervolemia or acute pulmonary edema) Elimination Criteria: * Withdrawal of informed consent * Loss to follow-up * Non-catheter-related events necessitating suspension of PD that preclude further study participation
