Abstract
The recent introduction of triple lumen catheters has facilitated the care of seriously ill patients by providing multipurpose central venous access through a single percutaneous 7 French catheter. This prospective study was performed to examine the complications associated with the use of these catheters in patients receiving long-term total parenteral nutrition (TPN).Keywords
