A Five-Year Data Report of Long-Term Central Venous Catheters Focusing on Early Complications.

Conclusions: We have a high success rate of first-attempt insertions compared with other published data, as well as an acceptable and low rate of pneumothorax, hematoma, and infections. However, the number of malpositioned catheters was relatively high. This could probably have been avoided with routine use of fluoroscopy during the procedure. PMID: 31885552 [PubMed]
