vessel, and at least one other lumen is dedicated to the return of fluid to the vessel. Generally, the lumen through which fluid is withdrawn is referred to as the “aspiration” lumen, and the lumen through which fluid is returned is referred to as the “perfusion” lumen. Triple-lumen catheters may also enable the passage of other fluids including medicants in addition to the general use of dialysis. Some multiple-lumen catheters may include a side-port formed in a wall portion of the catheter.
In a hemodialysis procedure, after placement of a multiple-lumen catheter in a patient, blood is withdrawn from the patient through the aspiration lumen of the catheter and/or the side-port associated with the aspiration lumen, and is directed to a hemodialysis unit.
