Use of Tunneled Catheters for Ascites & Effusions Management
When is it time to move from repeat drainage to a tunneled catheter for managing pleural effusions or ascites? On this episode of BackTable Podcast, Dr. Neil Jain interviews Dr. Marco Ertreo, interventional radiologist and IR residency program director at Strong Memorial Hospital, University of Rochester, about best practices for tunneled catheter management in both the chest and abdomen. They discuss the triggers for placing a tunneled catheter, patient selection, placement technique, home drainage protocols, complication management, and the unique considerations for malignant versus cirrhotic ascites.
