    Abstract:
    An ongoing problem for peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients has been complications associated with an indwelling PD catheter. The indwelling catheter has been through many modifications aimed at reducing complications and providing effective delivery of dialysis solution. In this report, we review four cases of rare complications associated with presternal PD catheters and a brief review of the Tenckhoff, Toronto Western Hospital, and Missouri swan-neck abdominal and presternal PD catheters.
