Study on the Incidence of Early Deep Vein Thrombosis After Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter Insertion

• Conditions: Venous Thrombosis

• Registration Number: NCT02752984
• Lead Sponsor: Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo di Pavia

Brief Summary

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is one of the most important complications after Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) insertion. This study goals are to understand when and why DVT develops.

Detailed Description

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is one of the most important complications after Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) insertion. This study goals are to understand when and why DVT develops. Patients will be studied with ultrasound for 4 weeks after PICC insertion, one visit a week. The final outcome of PICCs will be collected.
