Replacement of Inadvertently Discontinued Tunneled Jugular High-flow Central Catheters with Tract Recannulation: Technical Results and Outcome

Recannulating tunneled high-flow jugular catheter tracts has a high technical success rate, particularly when they have fallen out less than 24 hours earlier and have a mature tract. The outcomes of recannulated catheters (ie, infection and function rates) are within the upper limit of results of de novo placement and over-the-wire exchange of catheters in the literature.
