Evidence suggests that elective, real-time, ultrasound-guided cannulation of the subclavian vein may be more effective than the landmark-guided technique when performed by an experienced operator ...

Of note, the right thyroid lobe was compressed by an enlarged right interval jugular vein (IJV) and more posterior in position compared with the left lobe in the transverse view (Figure 1A vs. 1B).

For the study, researchers randomly assigned 3,027 patients to have catheters placed in one of three locations: nontunneled central venous catheterization to the subclavian, jugular, or femoral vein.

A randomized trial found that subclavian venous catheterization was associated with a significantly lower rate of total infectious complications than femoral venous catheterization and a trend ...

The meta-analysis included 23 studies of 35,722 patients who had a CIED implanted, including 18,009 who had subclavian vein puncture, 409 who had axillary vein puncture and 17,304 who had cephalic ...
