Abstract:
A new approach for access to the right atrium via the superficial-temporal vein is proposed. We prefer this route whenever anterior neck veins cannot be used to place the catheter into the right atrium, e.g., in patients with tracheostomy. The results seem to be as good as those obtained with conventional techniques.
