    Author: Ricci JL, Reiner DS.
    Journal: Surg Gynecol Obstet; 1991 Feb; 172(2):145-6. PubMed ID: 1989118.
    Abstract:
    A technique for the insertion of a central venous access device in the patient with thrombocytopenia is described. Using the Seldinger technique, a wire is placed into the internal jugular vein. A catheter tunneled from the anterior part of the chest is inserted through a peel-away sheath into the central venous system. The incision is then closed.
