  • Title: Home parenteral nutrition using shunts.
    Author: Havill JH, Blair RD.
    Journal: JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr; 1984; 8(3):321-4. PubMed ID: 6429371.
    Abstract:
    Most workers have found use of shunts unworkable as a means of access for home parenteral nutrition. Our experience using arteriovenous loop vein grafts for this purpose is described including any problems encountered. One shunt could not be established. In four other patients arteriovenous loop vein grafts have been used successfully. They are in our opinion superior to indwelling catheters as a means of access in long-term patients.
