Central Venous Access via External Jugular Vein with CT-Venography Using a Multidetector Helical 16-Section CT

Аннотация

Central venous access plays an important role in modern medical care. Central venous catheters (CVCs) are used for total parental nutrition, medication administration, chemotherapy, and hemodynamic monitoring [1]. The preferred access approach for CVC placement is the right subclavian vein (SCV) or the right internal jugular vein (IJV) [2, 3]. The percutaneous Seldinger method for catheter insertion into the SCV has been widely accepted, because of the ease of insertion when initially successful.
