The possible advantage of placing REJ catheters over LIJ is that doing so may function to preserve better the left-sided vasculature in general, and, in particular, when future left-sided access is planned." "Contrast venography was required. While REJ is a viable option for catheter insertion, the effect of REJ vs. LIJ catheter placement on long-term vessel patency as well as catheter function must be...
