Abstract
Portacath implantation with introduction of a catheter into the superior vena caval system is a commonly performed procedure. Catheterization of the internal jugular vein can be difficult due to anatomical variation, individual patient morphology, or as a result of previous catheterization. Use of 2D ultrasonography facilitates localization of the internal jugular vein and decreases the risks of catheter placement.
