Case ReportsStereotactic technique of catheter placement in the stump of the superior vena cava in children with impaired venous access.
The long-term survival of children with irreversible intestinal failure is often dependent on adequate central venous access for the administration of parenteral nutrition. In children with occlusion of major central thoracic veins, innovative techniques to establish venous access have been described in the literature. The present report describes an innovative stereotactic technique of catheter insertion in children with occluded internal jugular and brachiocephalic veins. The catheter is inserted percutaneously from the neck into the distal patent stump of the superior vena cava communicating with the right atrium.

Analysis of simulated angiographic procedures: part 1--capture and presentation of audio and video recordings.
To assess different methods of recording angiographic simulations and to determine how such recordings might be used for training and research. ⋯ The capture, editing, presentation, and distribution of synchronized multichannel audio and video recordings holds great promise for angiography training and simulation research. To achieve this potential, technical challenges will need to be met, and content will need to be tailored to suit the needs of trainees and researchers.
