ABSTRACT
The axillary vein is a suitable alternative to the jugular venous system for tunnelled silastic catheterization in neonates, and should be included in the armamentarium of the surgeon who treats neonates. It is technically easy and is comparable to the internal jugular vein in terms of complications. Proper positioning of the catheter tip can sometimes be problematic, but without a resultant increase in morbidity or mortality.
