| Popis: | Percutaneous placement of central venous access catheters has recently been described [1 -3]. Fluoroscopic guidance makes venous entry safe and allows proper positioning of the catheter. One step in the procedure is the creation of a subcutaneous tunnel to prevent infection [4]. A variety of surgical instruments has been used to create this tunnel, including Kelly clamps and laryngeal biopsy forceps. We report the use of a blunt needle to create a subcutaneous track for percutaneous placement of indwelling venous catheters. |
