- This study compares peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) and midlines (MC) as alternatives to implanted vascular access devices in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.
- Conducted in Italy with 559 patients from 2019 to 2022, the study looked at catheter failure rates and various demographic factors influencing outcomes.
- Results showed a 75% lower failure rate for PICC compared to MC, indicating that PICC is a safer and more effective option for cancer patients in need of vascular access during treatment.
