Percutaneous catheterization of the brachial vein for central venous access. 1984

K B Kwun, and S Gorfine, and M Berman, and T J Iberti, and C W Bryan-Brown

A method of percutaneous central venous catheterization involving the brachial vein is described. A constant anatomic location and large diameter of brachial vein render a high chance of successful veinpuncture. The gradual increasing size of venous catheters with initial small needle puncture minimizes the possibility of a complication. This technique is recommended when usual percutaneous central venous access is not available.
