Dual-tract Transhepatic U-shaped Hemodialysis Inferior Vena Cava Catheter: A Feasibility Study in a Swine Model

Establishing a U-shaped hemodialysis catheter with an entirely transhepatic approach is technically feasible. The 10.2-F U-shaped dialysis catheters provided a flow rate (>350 mL/min) that is appropriate for hemodialysis in human clinical settings.
