Background:

Chronic venous access is crucial for patients requiring long-term nutritional support or chemotherapy.
Traditional methods for venous access can be challenging in certain patient populations.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a new technique for venous cannulation using permanent Silastic catheters.
To establish chronic venous access without crossing the clavicle.

Main Methods:

A surgical technique for venous cannulation is detailed.
The approach focuses on axillary region surgery.
Ensures access even if the subclavian vein is patent.

Main Results:

Successful venous cannulation was achieved.

The technique avoids crossing the clavicle.

Provides reliable venous access for indicated patients.

Conclusions:

This non-clavicle-crossing technique offers a reliable method for establishing chronic venous access.
It is suitable for patients requiring long-term intravenous therapies and is within the scope of surgeons operating in the axilla.
