The aim of the study was to establish the rate of tunneled dialysis catheter damage and report our experience with breakage repair. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p> All 363 cuffed tunneled hemodialysis catheters inserted into 309 patients from May 2000 to December 2008 were followed up. When connector damage was encountered, repair with a two-piece adaptor for peritoneal dialysis was attempted. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p> Mechanical breakage occurred in 33 (9.1%) of catheters with an incidence of 0.36\/1000 catheter-days. The most frequent was connector damage, found in 25 cases (67.6%). Catheter repair using a peritoneal dialysis Luer adaptor was performed with good early and long-term outcome. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p> Tunneled catheter breakage is a relatively rare complication. Catheter repair using the adaptor for peritoneal dialysis is easy to perform, safe, and cost-effective. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.5301\/jva.5000030","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,11,17]],"date-time":"2011-11-17T07:42:27Z","timestamp":1321515747000},"page":"203-207","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Repair of Damaged Connectors of Tunneled Cuffed Catheters with a Two-Piece Adaptor for Peritoneal Dialysis"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Krzysztof","family":"Letachowicz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nephrology and Transplantation Medicine, Wroc\u0142aw Medical University, Wroc\u0142aw -
