Use of an Amplatz Goose Neck snare as a target for collateral neck vein dialysis catheter placement

P Hagen et al. J Vasc Interv Radiol. 2001 Apr.

Abstract

The authors describe a technique for insertion of a hemodialysis catheter when the usual large neck veins are difficult to access. The essence of the procedure is the use of the Amplatz Goose Neck snare as a fluoroscopic target. The snare is used in its conventional mode to grasp the introduction wire. The dialysis line then can be placed in its usual fashion.
