His actualy had 2 catheter ends that stuck out and dangled from his upper chest. They weren't able to put in the kind that would have been all under the skin. He has a very hefty man, my hubby! Very muscular, but also very heavy. They had the same problem when he went in to get a feeding tube put in his tummy. He just had too much tummy, and they didn't have one long enough to go all the way through. And the really aggravating thing about that was, I called them several days before the procedure, and basically asked them if they could get through all of his fat. No problem, don't worry, we do it all the time--Almost like, don't be an idiot, we know what we are doing. Right! Then the doctor had to come out and tell me they didn't have a tube long enough.
