ABSTRACT
Ninety-eight untunnelled central venous catheters were positioned in the subclavian or internal jugular vein in 42 patients with acute leukemia. The procedure was feasible at bedside and carried a risk of catheter-related infection of 21%, similar to that of tunnelled catheters. The persistence of exit-point infection is the main route of infection and requires catheter removal.
