Implantable port pocket skin necrosis – Full Text

"Proactive preparation of the local pocket skin may help mitigate the risk of pocket skin necrosis. In cases where necrosis occurs, creating an adjacent new pocket for hub relocation constitutes an effective approach for management and preservation of treatment continuity" Li et al (2025).

Laser therapy for iron extravasation-induced skin pigmentation – Full Text

"Gradual pigment reduction was observed throughout the treatment course, with complete resolution of hyperpigmentation achieved two years after the first treatment session. Q-switched Nd:YAG laser therapy at 532 nm is an effective treatment for cutaneous siderosis resulting from iron infusion extravasation" Vitale et al (2025).

Tunnelled PICC versus traditional PICC placement – Full Text

"In recent years, the echo-dynamic ultrasound-guided (EDUG) tunneled PICC, a modified technique, has been increasingly adopted in clinical practice. This study aims to compare the safety and efficacy of EDUG-guided tunneled PICC with traditional PICC in cancer patients" Zeng et al (2025).

Analysis of subclavian venous catheterization – Full Text

"It was concluded that other catheterization methods (jugular, femoral) are more frequently preferred during anesthesiology residency training. Encouraging trainees to perform subclavian catheterization under ultrasound guidance could be more beneficial in managing critically ill patients during the specialization process" Yalçınkaya et al (2025).

Movement of PICC in relation to limb movement in neonates

"We conducted a prospective observational study to understand PICC movement in relation to limb position in real time. Neonates admitted to a tertiary neonatal unit, at St George’s Hospital, London, needing point of care ultrasound (POCUS) to confirm optimal PICC position were included" Gronska et al (2025).

PICC site bleeding associated with catheter placement in ICU patients

"The modified two-stage technique appears to be a feasible alternative to conventional PICC placement and was associated with reduced insertion-related bleeding in ICU patients. The technique also resulted in fewer dressing changes within 24 h, suggesting more stable haemostasis and potential improvements in ICU care quality" Young et al (2025).

SVC recanalization during implantable port placement – Full Text

"A patient with a history of cystic fibrosis and bilateral lung transplant presented internal jugular port placement for extracorporeal photopheresis in the setting of acute rejection. Imaging demonstrated chronic calcific stenosis of the right brachiocephalic vein and superior vena cava (SVC)" DePalma et al (2025).
