  • Title: Direct azygos vein and superior vena cava cannulation for parenteral nutrition.
    Author: Malt RA, Kempster M.
    Journal: JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr; 1983; 7(6):580-1. PubMed ID: 6418919.
    Abstract:
    As a result of superior vena cava thrombosis and ligation of the inferior vena cava, central venous access was limited in a patient with large, recurrent, intestinal fistulas. Transthoracic catheterization of the azygos vein provided a successful route for parenteral nutrition for 9 wk on one occasion, and transthoracic catheterization of the superior vena cava allowed parenteral nutrition for over 9 months on another.
