Schematic drawing of the “Long loop technique”. a A port-a-cath inserted via the left jugular vein, with cranially dislodgement of the catheter in the same vessel. b Advancement of both a pigtail catheter and a goose snare. c Hooking of the dislodged catheter with the pigtail catheter, also advancement of a guidewire in the pigtail catheter. d Catching of the guidewire with the goose snare, creating a “long loop” configuration. Repositioning by pulling the catheters caudally
