Abstract:
In children, there are two main techniques for placing a tunneled central venous catheter: single-incision (single puncture) and conventional (two punctures). Both have unique advantages and disadvantages. The modified single-stick technique combines the two aforementioned techniques to access the central venous system in an optimized way. This technique is feasible to perform particularly in young children and has a short learning curve for adult interventional radiologists.
