title: The venocutaneous fistula--a new approach to chronic venous access.
abstract: A surgical technique has been devised for creating access to the central venous circulation, yet avoiding a chronic, in-dwelling central venous catheter. While far removed from actual clinical application, the possibility of catheter-free access to the central venous circulation offers great potential for ease of care and a lessened infection rate of catheter-related sepsis.
