"In outpatient oncology patients, PICCs showed sustained functionality, with removal mainly related to treatment completion, supporting continuity-based routine follow-up and tailored surveillance in clinically stable patients" Consolo et al (2026).
New publication on Axillary or subclavian vein? The differentiation conundrum when landmarks fade on ultrasound from the Journal of Vascular Access Axillary or subclavian vein?…
"These findings confirm that a CADD-based OPAT programme considerably reduces costs on a societal perspective in a publicly funded health system and contributes to reduced hospital bed occupancy" Helleren et al (2026).
"This insertion bundle-named SILPeC (Safe Insertion of Long Peripheral Catheters-includes (1) pre-insertion assessment of the vein of the upper limbs, (2) insertion of the optimal site selection, (3) appropriate measures of asepsis, (4) ultrasound-guided puncture, (5) safe connection to infusion lines, and (6) proper device stabilization and appropriate protection of the exit site" Giustivi et al (2026).
"PIV access in hypotensive trauma patients succeeds approximately two-thirds of the time. The marginal yield of sequential PIV attempts declines substantially after two failed attempts" Dumas et al (2026).
"We present a case of perforation of the internal jugular vein caused by PICC migration in the early postoperative days following neck dissection and free flap reconstruction" Dusi et al (2026).
"Electronic health records (EHR) often contain varying levels of missing data. This study aimed to compare different imputation strategies to identify the most appropriate missing data handling approach for predicting central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) in the presence of competing risks using EHR data" Gao et al (2026).
"This report describes a patient who developed this complication after femoral CVC insertion and outlines the diagnostic approach, management, and important clinical insights" Abaei Hasani et al (2026).
"At-home blood collection devices (ABCDs) can facilitate study participation for remote and rural cohorts. Previous studies used ABCDs to interrogate samples by proteomics and sequencing approaches" Konecny et al (2026).
"One exceedingly rare form of malposition is placement within the internal mammary vein. Misplacement within this vein is difficult to diagnose due to its course overlying the right cardiac border on routine chest imaging, as well as being typically subclinical in presentation" Guy et al (2026).
"An English-language European guideline for the prevention of complications associated with PIVCs is needed, featuring consensus terminology and a standardized, systematic, and transparent method for grading evidence" Mussa et al (2026).
