Long-Term Central Venous Access Through the Ovarian VeinNutrition Support Service, Department of Surgery, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia
Nutrition Support Service, Department of Surgery, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia This is a case report of a patient, totally dependent on parenteral nutrition, with thrombosis of the superior vena cava and infrarenal inferior vena cava. The ovarian vein was the most accessible route for placement of a long-term indwelling catheter. We describe a technique of central venous access via the ovarian vein through a lower midline laparotomy. (journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition 21:235-237, 1997)
