    Author: Akyol AM, Porteous C, Brown MW.
    Journal: Perit Dial Int; 1990; 10(1):63-6. PubMed ID: 2085585.
    Abstract:
    This study was undertaken to critically examine the value of the curled Tenckhoff catheter for continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) access with respect to the incidence of catheter-related complications. In the setting of a prospective, randomised, double-blind comparison, we were unable to demonstrate any advantage of the curled Tenckhoff catheter over the conventional straight type.
