✦ Synopsis

This report describes our experiences with three patients requiring several weeks of central venous access for various intravenous therapies. These particular patients posed a considerable challenge for bedside placement of a peripherally inserted central catheter, so the catheters were placed in the cardiac catheterization laboratory by the cardiology team involved using a different technique for each patient.
