Background: Catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) is a complication of central venous access devices (CVADs). Evidence is variable regarding the significance of the side of catheter insertion. The role of the patient's hand dominance in predisposition to CRT remains uncertain.

- - Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm (HAP) is a rare but serious complication after liver transplantation that can lead to significant graft loss and high mortality rates, with around 10% of grafts failing due to it and mortality rates as high as 78%.
- - The study evaluates risk factors for HAP and examines the effectiveness of various treatment options, comparing flow-preserving strategies like stenting to non-flow preserving techniques such as embolization, though the results weren't statistically significant.
- - Early identification of HAP in patients showing signs of hemorrhagic shock or internal bleeding is crucial for improving management strategies, which are complex and depend on individual patient conditions and anatomical considerations.
Background: There is limited research on the relationship between side of insertion of central venous catheter (CVAD) and bloodstream infection risk in patients with cancer.
Aim: To conduct an exploratory analysis of data from a randomized control trial (RCT) and data from a prospective cohort study to compare infection rates for right- and left-sided insertions.
Methods: The study populations were patients aged >14 years with cancer from two tertiary hospitals in Brisbane, Australia.
