Central venous catheter as peritoneal indwelling catheter for the management of recurrent malignant ascites: A case series

Conclusion: In summary, we suggest that central venous catheter may be used as indwelling peritoneal catheter for the symptom management of recurrent malignant ascites. It provides a relatively safe and cost-effective alternative to serial large-volume paracentesis that requires multiple hospital admissions.
