   By changing the diagnostic catheter to a guiding catheter, physicians can also pass a variety of instruments through the catheter and into the artery to a lesion site. The most commonly used are 0.014-inch-diameter (0.36 mm) guide wires and the balloon dilation catheters. [citation needed]

   A port catheter is passed through the tunnel where one end is attached to the chemport and another end is left hanging out near the IJV insertion site. The length of the hanging port catheter should be about 16 to 17 cm (or can be measured from the IJV insertion site until 2 cm below the sternal angle where the right atrium should begin).

9. Mitrofanoff procedure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitrofanoff_procedure

   Stenosis: Stenosis of the channel occurs when it becomes narrower, making it difficult to pass a catheter. [11] Additional surgery may be required to ensure the safe insertion of a catheter. [11] If the bladder cannot be emptied via the urethra and the catheter cannot enter the channel, it is a medical emergency. [5]
