    Abstract:
    The percutaneous insertion of the atrial catheter for ventriculoatrial shunts reveals as a sufficient alternative method for the open surgical preparation of neck veins. The authors use a special set based on the Seldinger-Technique. The direct punction procedure of the internal jugular vein is a wellknown method in anaesthesia and intensive-care-medicine. First experiences show as well as a shorter operation times and better cosmetic results in the neck region.
