All children in the Oncology Unit in the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Edinburgh who had had long‐term central venous catheters removed between 1987 and 1991 underwent central venous assessment by image‐directed Doppler ultrasound scanning techniques. In this study, the implant vein remained patent after decannulation, and we believe should be re‐accessed rather than moving to another site. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
