Background In patients requiring a peripheral venous access for more than seven days, long
peripheral catheters (LPCs) or midline catheters (MCs) are recommended. Since MCs and
LPCs share many characteristics, studies comparing devices made of the same biomaterial
are needed. Moreover, a catheter-to-vein ratio> 45% at the insertion point has been
recognized as a risk factor for catheter related complications, but no study investigated the
effect of the catheter-to-vein ratio at the catheter tip level in peripheral venous devices …
