    AbstractA method of percutaneous central venous catheterization involving the brachial vein is described. A constant anatomic location and large diameter of brachial vein render a high chance of successful veinpuncture. The gradual increasing size of venous catheters with initial small needle puncture minimizes the possibility of a complication. This technique is recommended when usual percutaneous central venous access is not available.
