Application of three-dimensional imaging of superior vena cava with multi-slice spiral CT in the evaluation of catheter dysfunction after Cuff catheter implantation
Objective To explore the application of three-dimensional imaging of the superior vena cava(SVC)with multi-slice spiral CT in the evaluation of catheter dysfunction after Cuff catheter implantation.Methods Twenty patients who underwent double lumen Cuff catheter indwelling for chronic renal failure at the No.971 Hospital of PLA Navy from May 2019 to August 2021,had postoperative catheter dysfunction and underwent CT three-dimensional imaging of SVC were analyzed retrospectively.Thirteen patients underwent carotid duplex ultrasound and 7 patients underwent digital subtraction angiography(DSA).The results of CT three-dimensional imaging of SVC,carotid duplex ultrasound and DSA were compared and analyzed.Results CT images clearly showed the position of the catheter implanted into different blood vessels and the location of the catheter tip in the 20 patients.There were 15 cases of dysfunction caused by peripheral thrombus,2 cases of catheter lippage,2 cases of subcutaneous tunnel pain and 1 case of no obvious symptoms after Cuff catheter implantation.Among the 13 patients undergoing carotid duplex ultrasound,thrombosis was found in the upper segment of brachiocephalic veins in one patient,dilatation or slightly smaller diameter of cervical vein or only small blood flow in 5 patients,and no abnormality in the remaining 7 patients.In the 7 patients with DSA examination,DSA was used to analyze the causes of the decrease of blood flow of long-term hemodialysis catheter and the hand swelling after fistulization,the catheter reimplantation under the guidance of DSA and the removal of fiber sheath of long-term hemodialysis catheter.Conclusion The improved CT three-dimensional imaging technique of SVC has high spatial resolution and strong repeatability,and can stereoscopically and intuitively display the position of Cuff catheter implanted into blood vessels,the location of catheter tip and thrombosis in hemodialysis patients.Carotid duplex ultrasound is only used for rough evaluation.DSA is an invasive examination and is more inclined to clinical treatment.CT three-dimensional imaging of SVC has great advantages in sensitivity,specificity and scope of examination,and it is the first choice to evaluate the causes of catheter dysfunction after Cuff catheter implantation.
