Abstract
A simple, fast technique for percutaneous insertion of two single‐lumen, large‐bore Silastic catheters for long‐term venous access is described. Helpful technical points are discussed. Recent experience with insertion of 102 catheters using this technique yielded no major complications.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
