Abstract

A 28-year-old woman with short-bowel syndrome caused by multiple operations for bleeding intestinal telangiectasias required a vena caval filter and long-term angioaccess. All major veins normally used for these procedures were obliterated and/or stenosed. A technique for direct transcaval placement of both a Greenfield filter and Hickman catheter is described.
