abstract: Permanent central catheter for hemodialysis was inserted via external jugular vein in 95 patients. In all the cases the catheter blood flow was more than 250 ml/min. There were no severe complications. The procedure of insertion of permanent catheter for hemodialysis via the external jugular vein is described.
