A Refinement of Hong's Technique for the Removal of Stuck Dialysis Catheters: An Easy Solution to a Complex Problem2013 •
Aim A long-term tunneled hemodialysis catheter can be difficult or impossible to pull out if a fibrin sleeve has attached it to the venous wall. We report the outcome of a refinement of Hong's technique for removing incarcerated catheters aimed at improving its feasibility and safety. Methods We applied a modification of Hong's technique in four patients (two males, age ranging from 51 to 68 years) with jugular twin hemodialysis catheters (five of eight lines incarcerated). Hong pioneered the technique of endoballooning to expand a stuck central venous catheter, thus freeing it from adhesions. In our technical refinement, we cut the catheter close to its venous entry point in order to facilitate pullout and inserted a valved introducer as access for guide wires as well as for inflations of the catheter balloon. A stiff guide wire was placed in the inferior vena cava to avoid potential damage to heart cavities. Dilation was monitored under fluoroscopy with constrictions showi...

Suprapubic catheter knotting: An unusual complication2004 •
We describe a case of true knotting of a suprapubic catheter in a 25-month-old boy who underwent surgery for urethrocutaneous fistula as a complication of a distal penile hypospadias repair. This unusual complication was probably attributable to an excessive length of catheter being inserted into the bladder, thereby allowing it to bend onto itself.
