The Inside-Out Technique: A Vascular Surgeon's Guide to Complex Catheter Placement

Patients with multiple failed dialysis accesses and limited access sites can present a significant challenge to vascular surgeons. The presence of central venous occlusion and the need for temporary or permanent dialysis catheter placement are especially problematic. Previous reports have described an “inside-out” technique that avoids the need for subclavian or femoral catheter placement by placing a supraclavicular catheter through a percutaneous femoral vein. However, very few reports of its use in vascular surgery exist.
