Correct and Incorrect Catheter Placement

ID: exh82375
This is a single custom exhibit with a single illustration that illustrates the normal positioning of a port’s catheter versus where it was placed in the patient. The correct catheter is shown in place in the subclavian vein, crossing the ribcage between ribs 2 and 3, and is seen as a dashed tube. The incorrect one that matches the positioning as it was in the patient is placed within the subclavian artery, crossing the ribcage at ribs 3 and 4, and is opaque, bringing it to the forefront.
