Abstract
The use of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) in children is increasingly common due to their certain advantages and low rate of adverse events. Valved PICCs, when displaced, must be removed and new a PICC must be placed in another vein. We present our PICC replacement technique over a Seldinger guidewire using the same entrance vein.File in questo prodotto:
