Impact of side-hole geometry on the performance of hemodialysis catheter tips: A computational fluid dynamics assessment

Hemodialysis catheters are used to support blood filtration, yet there are multiple fundamentally different approaches to catheter tip design with no clear optimal solution. Side-holes have been shown to increase flow rates and decrease recirculation but have been associated with clotting/increased...
