Repositioning of CVADs using high flow flushing technique – practice and cost review – Vascular Access

Although it’s a little self-indulgent, I am also very excited. I just had a manuscript accepted for publication on repositioning of CVADs utilizing a high flow flushing technique (HFFT) in the Journal of Vascular Access. This is something I investigated and started monitoring a few years ago (after a discussion on its relatively unknown use) and decided to start writing a more formal paper on this technique. The manuscript has not been allocated an edition currently, but will be available as advanced online publication at the JVA website very soon.
