  • Title: Percutaneous, non-surgical placement of tunneled, cuffed, external jugular hemodialysis catheters: a case report.
    Author: Yevzlin AS, Chan MR, Wolff MR.
    Journal: J Vasc Access; 2007; 8(2):126-8. PubMed ID: 17534801.
    Abstract:
    The right internal jugular vein is widely accepted as the vessel of choice for placement of long-term central venous catheters for hemodialysis. As vascular access sites become progressively depleted, alternate anatomic locations for access must be sought. We describe a non-surgical (fluoroscopy assisted, percutaneous) technique for placement of external jugular, tunneled, cuffed hemodialysis catheters, and provide long-term blood flow and dialysis adequacy data for EJV catheters.
