Abstract
This report describes our experiences with three patients requiring se veral weeks of central venous access for various intravenous therapies . These particular patients posed a considerable challenge for bedside placement of a peripherally inserted central catheter, so the cathete rs were placed in the cardiac catheterization laboratory by the cardio logy team involved using a different technique for each patient.
