The use of a right atrial catheter in bone marrow transplantation for acute leukemia

K G Blume et al. Exp Hematol. 1978 Aug.

Abstract

A right atrial catheter was implanted into 15 patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation as a treatment for acute leukemia. The catheter remained in position for 79 +/- 34 days. No catheter-related septicemia was observed. It appears that this catheter is helpful in supporting bone marrow transplant recipients.
