Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Medical Device Technology

Background:

  • Permanent venous access is crucial for long-term therapies.
  • Upper body venous access is often preferred but can be challenging or contraindicated in some patients.
  • Complications associated with traditional upper body access necessitate alternative approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate the saphenous eversion Hickman catheter insertion technique.
  • To assess its feasibility as an alternative venous access method.
  • To compare its potential benefits and complications against standard upper body insertion techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Description of the saphenous eversion technique for Hickman catheter insertion.
  • Evaluation of procedural simplicity and immediate outcomes.

  • Assessment of potential complications specific to this method.

    • Main Results:

    • Saphenous eversion Hickman catheter insertion provides a feasible alternative for venous access.
    • The technique is technically simple to perform.
    • It potentially avoids common complications associated with upper body permanent venous access.

    Conclusions:

    • Saphenous eversion Hickman catheter insertion is a promising alternative venous access technique.
    • Its simplicity and potential to mitigate complications warrant further investigation.
    • Additional clinical experience is required to establish its role as a standard procedure.
