Insertion of venous access devices (VAD) is usually considered a procedure with low risk of
bleeding. Nonetheless, insertion of some devices is invasive enough to be associated with …

Purpose To estimate the prevalence of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC)-related
venous thrombosis in patients with hematological malignancies. Methods A systematic …

This study sought to evaluate the impact of the subcutaneous tunneling technique on
peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) placement. We randomized 694 patients who …

Objective: Thrombophlebitis associated with peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs) is a

Aims To delineate the clinical topography of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC)-
related thrombosis in cancer patients. Background Most of the clinical features of PICC …

Background The negative synergistic effect of cancer and a peripherally inserted central
catheter could significantly increase the incidence of thrombosis. Rather than identifying risk …

Background Among the many interesting aspects of clinical care during the SARS-CoV-2
pandemic, vascular access still deserves some attention. Peripherally inserted central …

The implementation of long-term parenteral nutrition (PN) often requires the placement of
central venous access, a procedure that carries a considerable risk of catheter-related …

Background Managing central venous catheters in patients with neoplasms is challenging,
and peripherally inserted central catheter PORT (PICC-PORT) has emerged as a promising …

We assessed the relationship between peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC)
diameters and symptomatic deep vein thrombosis (DVT) rates. We conducted a systematic …
