Saphenous vein eversion: a novel technique for Hickman catheter insertion.
Saphenous eversion Hickman catheter insertion can provide an alternative technique for venous access in patients in whom upper body access is not feasible. The technique is simple and obviates many of the complications of upper body permanent venous access catheter insertion. Further experience is required to assess whether this technique can become one of the standard Hickman insertion techniques.
