Brief summary

Single arm, observational, multi-center, consecutively enrolling, post-market surveillance study. Treating patients in need of central venous access who have upper body venous occlusions or other conditions that preclude central venous access by conventional methods, and who meet the requirements described in the device labeling.

Detailed description

Single arm, observational, multi-center, consecutively enrolling, post-market surveillance study. A minimum of 30 patients will be enrolled in the study, all cases to be performed un-proctored at up to 12 sites in the United States, with no site enrolling more than 6 subjects. All patients enrolled will sign an informed consent form for use of their data. Investigators will invite patients who will be treated with the device in accordance with the approved labeling and who met enrollment criteria to join the study.
