Abstract

Tunneled polymeric silicone catheters and implantable infusion ports are used with increasing frequency. Complications may occur with catheter placement or ongoing use. A new technique is described that minimizes the risks associated with catheter reinsertion in patients with tunneled polymeric silicone catheters that are either malfunctioning or mispositioned. This procedure allows for the exchange of these catheters without incurring the risk of a new venipuncture.
