Patients who require long-term central venous access often develop stenotic and occlusive complications in the central venous circulation. Individualized, unique and innovative routes to the central venous circulation must often be utilized to maintain venous access in these patients. Transhepatic venous mapping and microcatheter techniques aid in the finding of alternative sites in these patients with difficult access problems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
