Ivan A. Shulman, MD
Arch Surg. 1982;117(7):976-977.
Abstract
Patients with granulomatous enteritis or short-gut syndrome and those having long-term intravenous chemotherapy or bone marrow transplants may require hyperalimentation at home. A technique for percutaneous insertion of a permanent hyperalimentation catheter has provided satisfactory results and has reduced patient discomfort. Operator time is reduced and complications have been few to date.
