Résumé :

Aim: A new technique allowing placement of umbilical silicone venous catheters (USVC) is described and compared with percutaneous silicone venous catheters (PSVC). Methods: Data were retrospectively recorded for 198 infants with USVC and 141 infants with PSVC. Results: Overall rate of complications was low and comparable in both groups: thrombosis 1.2%, catheter-related sepsis 3.5% and mechanical obstruction 5%. Conclusion: A new device allows safe introduction of silicone catheters into the umbilical vein. © 2008 The Author(s).
