Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a successful treatment after complete haemodialysis (HD) blood access failure complicated with superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS)

SVCS constitutes a serious clinical problem and often represents a definitive loss of vascular access for haemodialysis (HD). The patients must suffer numerous interventions in order to obtain a permanent vascular access for HD. Treatment of SVCS requires endovascular intervention or complex surgica...

Sumario:SVCS constitutes a serious clinical problem and often represents a definitive loss of vascular access for haemodialysis (HD). The patients must suffer numerous interventions in order to obtain a permanent vascular access for HD. Treatment of SVCS requires endovascular intervention or complex surgical revascularization. We present three patients with SVCS associated with central indwelling catheters for HD who were switched to peritoneal dialysis (PD) due to complete HD blood access failure, and discuss the evolution on PD.
