Clinical Trial: Superficial Vein Thrombosis of the Upper Limb in Bacteremia Associated With PICCline and Midline Catheters: Frequency and Clinical Consequences

U.S., Feb. 6 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07388381) titled 'Superficial Vein Thrombosis of the Upper Limb in Bacteremia Associated With PICCline and Midline Catheters: Frequency and Clinical Consequences' on Jan. 23.

Brief Summary: The use of long-term peripheral venous catheters inserted in the upper limb (PICC lines and Midlines) has increased markedly over recent years.

Catheter-related bacteremias and venous thromboses are the main complications associated with these catheters. These events may occur independently or simultaneously. In addition, venous thromboses may involve the superficial venous system (SVT) or the deep venous system (DVT).

Current guidelines define septic thrombophle...
