Does translumbar placement of inferior vena cava catheters provide safe long-term venous access?
Percutaneous translumbar placement of silicone rubber catheters in the IVC is a satisfactory alternative for long-term venous access when subclavian vein placement is not feasible.
Lund et al. (1990) conducted an observational in Need for long-term venous access (n=40). Translumbar inferior vena cava catheters was evaluated on Retroperitoneal bleeding. Translumbar placement of silicone rubber catheters in the inferior vena cava resulted in no retroperitoneal bleeding among 40 patients, offering a satisfactory alternative for venous access.
