When to use a midline catheter
"Our data suggest that MVCs may be selectively used based on therapy duration, infusate characteristics, and patient-specific factors rather than as routine substitutes for PICCs" Ali et al (2026).

"Our data suggest that MVCs may be selectively used based on therapy duration, infusate characteristics, and patient-specific factors rather than as routine substitutes for PICCs" Ali et al (2026).
"Significant reductions in hospital CLABSI rates can be achieved by using additional measures beyond focusing on CL maintenance and insertion bundles, and particularly through developing proactive risk assessment and escalation processes" Wong et al (2026).
"The patient was treated with systemic anticoagulation and urgent endovascular thrombectomy with the removal of the indwelling port, resulting in rapid clinical improvement. This case emphasizes that in SVC obstruction, visible cyanosis may reflect localized venous congestion rather than systemic hypoxemia" Arikupurathu et al (2026).
"In this real-world cohort, residual radiopharmaceutical activity within preexisting venous access devices was generally low and showed no discernible impact on visual clinical SPECT or PET interpretation" Solem et al (2026).
"Systemic antimicrobial therapy combined with ALT can be an effective catheter-preserving strategy for high-risk patients with device-related infections caused by rare environmental non-fermenting Gram-negative organisms such as Pseudoxanthomonas sp" Akazawa et al (2026).
"Routine post-procedural chest X-ray identified catheter tip malpositioning in a subset of patients; however, these findings did not alter clinical management in the absence of port dysfunction. Selective imaging in patients with failed port functionality may safely reduce unnecessary radiation exposure and healthcare costs without compromising outcomes" Karakoç et al (2026)
"Persistent candidemia occurred in one in five patients and was independently associated with increased 30-day mortality. Early catheter removal emerged as the only independent protective factor, underscoring the importance of prompt source control and systematic follow-up blood cultures in the management of candidemia" Suarez-Urquiza et al (2026).
"Higher treatment burden, history of autism, and female sex were associated with increased likelihood of port placement among patients receiving ECT. Recognition of these factors may support earlier consideration of port placement in patients anticipated to require prolonged or complex ECT courses" Larson et al (2026).
"In our center, 2023-2024, use of EDCs as opposed to PIVs in PICU cases was associated with longer duration of use, suggesting preferred use of EDCs in patients requiring medium-term IV access, but not meeting criteria for central access" Cusson et al (2026).
"Autonomous or semi‑autonomous "autonomous vascular access" (AVA) platforms have the promise to standardize technique, accelerate placement by a wider range of providers, extend cannulation capability to austere settings, and reduce complication‑related morbidity" Grunhut et al (2026).
"This case demonstrates that the combined use of kissing-wire and wire tensioning techniques for hemodialysis-related central venous occlusion is feasible and provides a valuable technical option for the endovascular management of complex central venous occlusions" Liet al (2026).
"These findings support the feasibility of safe long-term HPN delivery in resource-constrained public healthcare settings and describe a replicable implementation model encompassing structured multidisciplinary care, formalized nursing-led training, and graduated post-discharge follow-up" da Cunha Rana et al (2026).
