Abstract

The present report describes an alternative technique for the detection of nonpalpable polyester cuffs during the removal of tunneled central venous catheters. By twisting the external segment of the tunneled catheter in obese patients or those with severe edema, fluoroscopy can easily confirm the estimated site of the hidden cuff.
