PD Catheter Survival: Modified Percutaneous vs Moncrief-Popovich
Catheter Survival and Functionality of Peritoneal Dialysis Catheters Placed by Conventional Modified Percutaneous Technique Versus Moncrief-Popovich Technique in Adults With Chronic Kidney Disease
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 12 Mar 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter placement technique may affect catheter survival, functionality and infection risk. The Moncrief-Popovich (subcutaneous burying or embedding) technique was developed to reduce exit-site/tunnel infections during the interval between insertion and first use. Objective: Compare PD catheter survival, functionality and complication rates between conventional modified percutaneous placement and Moncrief-Popovich in adults initiating planned PD. Brief methods: Prospective, randomized, parallel-arm study enrolling adult CKD patients scheduled for planned PD initiation and catheter placement at Hospital Civil de Guadalajara between Jan 2024 and Dec 2025. Patients randomized 1:1 to conventional modified percutaneous placement group or Moncrief-Popovich buried catheter group. Primary outcome is catheter survival/functionality during follow-up. Secondary outcomes include infectious and mechanical complications, peritonitis incidence, and need to change dialysis modality.

Built from the registry fields of ClinicalTrials.gov. It describes the study, not your situation.
Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Recent major abdominal surgery
Other illness
- Active abdominal infections at the time of catheter placement
- Requiring urgent start of PD (uremic syndrome, sever hyperkalemia, severe metabolic acidosis, negligible residual renal function, severe hypervolemia or acute pulmonary edema)
- Elimination Criteria:
Other
- Anatomical contraindications to peritoneal dialysis
- Withdrawal of informed consent
- Loss to follow-up
- Non-catheter-related events necessitating suspension of PD that preclude further study participation
Who the study is looking for
- Diagnosis of chronic kidney disease requiring initiation of renal replacement therapy with planned peritoneal dialysis.
- Candidate for PD catheter placement by percutaneous techniques (either conventional modified percutaneous or Moncrief-Popovich).
- Provide informed consent and available for clinical follow-up.
