[Central venous long-term catheter in the treatment of acute leukemia: implantation of a modified Hickman technic].
Central venous catheters are an essential prerequisite for the supportive ascertainment of highly aggressive cytoreductive therapy programmes in patients with acute leukaemia. From the indications (parenteral nutrition, transfusions, blood taking a. o.) and the particular conditions of the patient with acute leukaemia (granulo- and thrombocytopenia) results the superiority of a subcutaneously tunnelled central venous catheter with a particular occlusion of the place of entry into the skin in contrast to usual techniques.
