[Tunneled femoral catheters of long duration]
Abstract:
The femoral vascular access may be the only alternative when the upper limbs venous capital is exhausted. Five patients benefited from the setting up of a tunneled femoral catheter, for a median period of three months (three months minimum, eleven months maximum). No early complication has been observed. The infectious and thrombotic problems were late to appear and with no serious consequences. The new generation of biocompatible and flexible catheters can keep in place for a long time in femoral.
