Brief Summary

This study is a pilot study of the safety, tolerability and efficacy of an investigational central venous catheter device used in conjunction with a standard central venous catheter. The hypothesis is that utilization of a catheter device incorporating cyanoacrylate will reduce catheter colonization by bacteria, and may decrease the rate of catheter-related bloodstream infections.
