What Is The Procedure To Get An Indwelling Catheter?

Dear Sir,
I need a help from you about my father's kidney dialysis. he got bypass for heart attack in 2005.He is suffering diabetic from 1990. Now his age is 59 named Md. Abul Hashem. He has also Kidney problem. his creatinin is 435. He got already three fistula which none of these is working. He is getting dialysis by catheter. But if it is continuing it might be infected. I heard that there is a permanent catheter available in India. So please suggest me what should I do for my father. If there is any treatment available , please let me know that I can arrange necessary steps.

Regards & Thanks

Nephrologist,  's  Response
it is not correct that all peritoneal catheters will be infected. if done under strict aseptic method you can continue dialysis with that also. permanent catheters are not long term solutions , it actors for 6 month to 1 yr only.
