A comparative analysis of radiological and surgical placement of central venous catheters.
90
TL;DR: Radiological placement is consistently more reliable than surgical placement, there are fewer placement complications and fewer catheter infections overall, and average catheter life-span was similar for the two placement methods.

Abstract: Purpose
To compare the differences in practice and outcome of all radiologically and surgically placed central venous catheters retrospectively over a 2-year period simultaneously, at a single institution.

Venous Thromboembolism Associated With Long-Term Use of Central Venous Catheters in Cancer Patients
Melina Verso,Giancarlo Agnelli +1 more
TL;DR: The recommended therapy for UL-DVT associated with CVC is based on anticoagulant therapy with or without catheter removal, and prophylaxis with low molecular weight heparin or a low fixed dose of warfarin has been recently proposed.

Central venous catheter use. Part 1: mechanical complications.
TL;DR: A review will focus on short- and medium-term mechanical complications of catheter placement, and the most important risk factors are patient characteristics, underlying disease and local anatomy, the expertise of the doctor performing the procedure, and nursing care.

Catheter-related Upper Extremity Deep Venous Thrombosis in Cancer Patients: A Prospective Study Based on Doppler US
Alain Luciani,Olivier Clément,Philippe Halimi,D Goudot,Frederic Portier,V Bassot,J. A. Luciani,Paul Avan,Guy Frija,Pierre Bonfils +9 more
TL;DR: Doppler ultrasonography (US) was used to estimate the incidence of asymptomatic catheter-related upper extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in a large population and to study the effect of the catheter position as an individual risk factor for cat heter-related DVT.

Reporting standards for central venous access.
TL;DR: Standardized reporting allows for comparison of the strengths and limitations of different devices, device insertion techniques, postprocedure care routines, and procedures to salvage device failure.

Long-term central venous access.
S Galloway,Andrew R. Bodenham +1 more
TL;DR: There is increasing use of long-term central venous access devices, both in and out of hospital, and there is an increasing practice whereby anaesthetists are directly involved in the insertion and removal of such devices.

Infectious complications of indwelling long-term central venous catheters.
David E. Clarke,Thomas A. Raffin +1 more
TL;DR: The diagnosis of long-term CVC sepsis can be difficult, but the use of quantitative blood cultures for catheter left in place and the Maki method for culturing those catheters that are removed will aid physicians in their quest for diagnostic certainty.
Percutaneous placement of Hickman catheters: comparison of sonographically guided and blind techniques.
TL;DR: It is concluded that sonographically guided puncture increases the success rate and significantly decreases the puncture-related complications of percutaneous placement of Hickman catheters.
