Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A dialysis catheter with an elongate body has a distal end defining blood removal and return ports communicating with internal blood removal and return lumens extending through the elongate body. A sensing pathway is disposed in or on the elongate body. A vascular dimension sensor is provided to dynamically measure changes in dimension of the SVC or IVC during dialysis. The sensor communicates with a control system and may be controlled or positioned via the communication pathway of the catheter body. Systems disclosed included integrated closed-loop treatment based on monitored vascular dimension input. Methods included patient optimized treatments incorporating treatment modulation based on dynamic vascular dimension monitoring.
