Percutaneous insertion of a very narrow (0.635-mm outside diameter) Silastic catheter for delivery of central hyperalimentation was attempted in infants in intensive care. Insertion of the catheter into the external jugular or basilic vein was successful in 15 of 17 infants, including 4 weighing less than 1000 g. Catheters remained in place for 446 patient-days (mean 24.8 plus or minus 15.9 days). Culture-proven infection, thrombophlebitis or caval obstruction did not occur. Percutaneously placed central Silastic catheters were a safe and effective alternative to surgically placed catheters.
