The dilator and introducer were passed over the wire. The wire and the dilator were removed and the catheter was threaded through the introducer into the upper portion of the right atrium. Using tunneler than a tunnel was made to a chosen exit site. We had placed a red dot in the general vicinity of the exit site. The catheter was threaded on the tunneler and pulled through the subcutaneous tunnel and out the exit site. The syringe adapters were placed on each tubing and secured with the locking sleeve. Blood could be aspirated and instill through each one easily. Each channel was flushed with heparin solution 100 units per cubic centimeter. A butterfly sleeve was placed on the catheter just distal to the exit site and it was secured to the skin with 2-0 silk sutures. The catheter was secured to the sleeve with a 2-0 silk tie. The course of the catheter was under fluoroscopy showed no evidence of caking. The look also appeared expanded the infraclavicular incision was clothed with interrupted 0 silk suture.
