Good afternoon!

The doc says:

The patient has been having problems with vascular access for some time and now

has a right femoral PVAC in place for dialysis.

I cannot document " PVAC. " Does anyone know what this is, or what I might really

be hearing?

Thank you as always!

This is just a guess - CVHC - central venous hemodialysis catheter. I know a

femoral catheter is used when there is no other means

of venous access, and I found some hits for the central venous catheter and

central venous hemodialysis catheter on Google.
