A venous cutdown may be required in emergency situations in order to establish an intravenous line. Subclavian vein catheterization is now widely used, but may result in significant complications and is often inappropriate when a safer distal vein cutdown could be performed. Inanimate models can be used to teach this valuable technique and have the advantage of availability for repeated practice.

Ultrasound-Guided Axillary Vein Puncture Versus Landmark-Guided Approach for Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Placement.

Introduction: Ultrasound (US)-guided axillary vein puncture is a safe and effective approach for cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation, and it is highly recommended by the current consensus document. However, only reports on small populations are available in the current literature regarding the comparison of this technique with other traditional approaches (subclavian vein blind puncture and cephalic vein surgical cutdown).
Purpose: We aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of US- guided axillary vein puncture using a microintroducer kit for CIED implantation as compared to the aforementioned traditional approaches.

The selection of an appropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) type and implantation strategy involves a myriad of considerations. While transvenous ICDs are standard, the rise of non-transvenous options like subcutaneous ICDs and extravascular ICDs is notable for their lower complication rates. Historical preferences for dual chamber ICDs have shifted to single-chamber ICDs.

Gold standard cannulation for peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is from the femoral artery and vein by using ultrasound guided puncture technique percutaneously. The Seldinger technique by using the guide wire is the major approach to place the cannula. Direct cut-down exposure technique is another option if the percutaneous approach is difficult.

Implantable chemoport is a very useful device for long-term venous access for infusion of chemotherapeutic drugs and other agents. Niederhuber et al. (Surgery 92:706-712, 1982) reported on the first use of the totally implantable central venous port system (TICVPS) in 1982.

The placement of totally implantable venous access ports (TIVAPs) is a critical step in the overall care of pediatric oncohematologic patients. These devices constitute a significant technical challenge and are not free of complications during their placement and use. There is extensive literature concerning placement techniques, including venous cut-down (mainly from the external jugular vein) and venous access through ultrasound-guided puncture (Seldinger technique), usually performed in jugular or subclavian veins.
