The recommended tip position of an umbilical venous catheter (UVC) is in the inferior vena cava (IVC) just above the diaphragm. This reduces the risk of infusion into the portal circulation. A UVC that remains within the liver should not be used.

Umbilical vein and/or artery catheterization is an imperative and potentially life-saving measure performed for critically ill infants that require timely and reliable vascular access.

Umbilical vein catheterization may be a life-saving procedure in neonates who require vascular access and resuscitation. The umbilical vein remains patent and viable for cannulation until...

UVC is often inserted in conjunction with Umbilical Arterial Catheters. The umbilical vein is 2-3cm long and 4-5mm in diameter. From the umbilicus, it passes cephalad and a little to the right. It joins the left branch of the portal vein after giving off several large intrahepatic branches.

Umbilical venous catheter (UVC) is left of the midline because of the anomalous positioning of the liver in the chest. Persistent left superior vena cava. Diagnosed by the path of a UVC. UVC catheter extended beyond the lung (it had entered the persistent left superior vena cava and entered the left jugular vein).
