Peripherally inserted central catheter versus central venous catheter for intravenous access: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Since the first description of the central venous catheter (CVC) in 1952, it has been used for the rapid administration of drugs, chemotherapy, as a route for nutritional support, blood components, monitoring patients, or combinations of these. When CVC is used in the traditional routes (eg, subclavian, jugular, and femoral veins), the complication rates range up to 15% and are mainly due to mechanical dysfunction, infection, and thrombosis. The peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) is an alternative option for CVC access.

Patients And Methods: Between January 2007 and January 2014, we performed 136 BGSs exclusively for the treatment of critical limb ischaemia. Two cohorts were identified: 1) primary BGS (n = 102; group I), and 2) BGS after prior PTA (n = 34; group II).
