Long-term parenteral nutrition requires central venous access, often difficult in patients who have had several central venous catheterizations.

We report five cases illustrating such difficulties and suggest that these patients be referred early to specialist centres where experienced catheter insertion and management results in a greatly reduced incidence of complications.
