title: [Percutaneous transhepatic central venous port implantation via the middle hepatic vein: a case report].
abstract: Percutaneous transhepatic central venous access with a subcutaneous infusion port was performed in a 34-year-old woman with extensive third-degree burns whose peripheral vessels were not available because of infection or dermatoplastic sites. This procedure could be done in the same way as the usual PTCD maneuver without serious complications. The infusion system functioned well, and the patient's alimentation could be carried out.
