Accepted for publication April 23, 1996.

Chronic gastrointestinal disorders may require support with long-term total parenteral nutrition via a central venous catheter. Central venous access may be problematic because of infection or thrombosis of previous catheters. We report a case where video-assisted thoracic surgical catheter insertion directly into the right atrium provided a successful and safe method of long-term central venous access for parenteral nutrition.
