Peripherally inserted central venous catheters for autologous blood progenitor cell transplantation in patients with haematological malignancies
In contrast to the high risk of haemorrhage associated with the implantation of a central venous catheter (CVC) via the internal jugular or subclavian access, the use of a peripherally inserted catheter (PICC) offers the advantage of a lower risk of bleeding complications. However, the rate of phleb...

| Riassunto: | In contrast to the high risk of haemorrhage associated with the implantation of a central venous catheter (CVC) via the internal jugular or subclavian access, the use of a peripherally inserted catheter (PICC) offers the advantage of a lower risk of bleeding complications. However, the rate of phlebitis is higher with the PICC and its use has been declining. We have studied the benefits and adverse events of a new type of PICC and a common type. |
