["Peel away introducer"--a new technic for implantation of central venous catheters for long-term parenteral feeding].

For longterm intravenous parenteral nutrition silicone catheters are used, which usually are operatively implanted by dissecting out the subclavian or internal jugular vein. By means of the "peel-away-introducer" percutaneous placement of this catheter is now possible using a modified Seldinger technique. The new method of catheter placement is described in detail.
