vein stenosis, silicone tCDC, tCDC
The use of the subclavian route for tCDC placement has largely been abandoned due to older studies with various methodological issues. However, the subclavian route offers several advantages for the patient. This trial is designed to provide robust data on the incidence of central vein stenosis after silicone tCDC insertion in the era of ultrasound-guided catheterisations.
