Skill acquisition in novices – Full Text

"Our findings indicate a possible benefit of even brief simulator exposure for skill acquisition for complex endovascular procedures such as MTE. While conventional training may suffice for basic skills, simulation may be particularly helpful in supporting learning in more advanced tasks" von Hessling et al (2026).

Clinically indicated removal of peripheral venous catheters – Full Text

"Routine PVC removal at set time intervals may prevent bloodstream infection and thrombophlebitis; however, it requires additional replacement PVC insertions and costs. An alternative is clinically indicated removal when the PVC is no longer needed, functional, comfortable or complication-free” Charles et al (2026).

Pinch-off syndrome leading to catheter fracture – Full Text

"This case highlights the importance of routinely checking for pinch-off syndrome whenever a central catheter is placed, and it suggests that removal of migrated catheter fragments may not be necessary in asymptomatic patients” El Graini et al (2026).

IV lock frequency for preventing catheter dysfunction – Full Text

"The study aims to identify a relatively low-risk locking frequency for catheter dysfunction, evaluate its effects on maintaining catheter patency and preventing catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI), and determine the optimal locking strategy that balances infection risk and catheter functionality” Zhang et al (2026).

Stuck pediatric implantable port removal

"Long-term central venous catheters removal is often complicated by peri catheter adhesions and calcification. Owing to the risk of significant complications, removal should be performed only when clinically indicated and preferably in specialized centers with access to interventional radiology and cardiac surgery" Bawazir et al (2026).

Neonatal PICC-associated phlebitis – Full Text

"The incidence of PICC-associated phlebitis was high among preterm infants with PICCs in NICU. Non-central PICCs, number of attempts for successful insertions ≥ 5 times, and lower limb venous catheterization served as risk factors of PICC-associated phlebitis among preterm infants" Sun et al (2026).
