    Summary

    This study introduces a novel umbilical vein catheterization method. The modified polyvinyl chloride catheter can remain implanted for years, allowing periodic drug delivery for conditions like cancer and liver cirrhosis without complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Pediatric Medicine
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Traditional umbilical vein catheterization methods have limitations for long-term use.
    • Managing chronic conditions like cancer and liver cirrhosis requires sustained venous access.
    • The need for safe, long-term venous access in pediatric and adult patients is critical.

    Observation:

    • A modified catheterization technique involves sealing the peripheral end of a polyvinyl chloride catheter under the skin.
    • This allows the catheter to remain in the umbilical vein for extended periods, potentially years.
    • The catheter's externalized end can be accessed periodically for drug administration.

    Findings:

    • The modified method enables long-term indwelling of umbilical vein catheters.

  • This technique facilitates repeated administration of necessary drugs for conditions such as cancer and liver cirrhosis.
  • In a study of 64 patients, the method was applied without any reported complications, ensuring patient comfort and preventing infection.

    • Implications:

    • This innovation offers a durable solution for long-term venous access, particularly for patients with chronic diseases requiring ongoing treatment.
    • The technique minimizes discomfort and reduces the risk of infection associated with repeated catheter insertions.
    • It presents a promising approach for managing complex medical conditions necessitating prolonged intravenous therapy.
