Intracavitary electrocardiogram guidance for peripherally inserted central catheter placement in a patient with persistent left superior vena cava: A case report
J Vasc Access. 2024 Jan 2:11297298231194859. doi: 10.1177/11297298231194859. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIntracavitary electrocardiogram (IC-ECG) guidance is widely used for peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) placement. The P wave variation has rarely been reported in persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC). Here, we report a PLSVC case of P wave variation in PICC placement guided by IC-ECG. In this case, the P wave variation of the PLSVC was quite different from that of the right superior vena cava (RSVC). The tip of the catheter was located at the lower segment of the left superior vena cava according to ...

FLOW: Flow dysfunction of hemodialysis vascular access: A randomized controlled trial on the effectiveness of surveillance of arteriovenous fistulas and grafts
DISCUSSION: As one of the largest randomized controlled trials assessing the clinical impact of vascular access surveillance using a strong double-blinded study design, we believe the FLOW trial will provide much-needed evidence to improve vascular access care for hemodialysis patients.PMID:38166508 | DOI:10.1177/11297298231212754 (Source: The Journal of Vascular Access)

Guidewire replacement of valved tunneled-cuffed silicone catheters with power injectable polyurethane tunneled-cuffed catheters or with ports
CONCLUSIONS: Our experience regarding the replacement technique of silicone cuffed and valved catheters over guidewire was considered feasible, accurate, and efficient for all patients treated, even in those presenting thrombocytopenia or a dysfunctional coagulation cascade.PMID:38166575 | DOI:10.1177/11297298231218593 (Source: The Journal of Vascular Access)

Cannula associated deep vein thromboses in COVID-19 patients supported with VV ECMO
CONCLUSION: Given the high number of post-decannulation CaDVT in both groups, routine screening should be a part of post ECMO care in both populations. Repeat venous duplex ultrasound should be performed to assess for the need for ongoing treatment given the high incidence of CaDVT that persisted on repeat duplex scans.PMID:38166433 | DOI:10.1177/11297298231220114 (Source: The Journal of Vascular Access)

Integrated short peripheral intravenous cannulas and risk of catheter failure: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: ISPCs significantly reduce the risks of catheter failure (overall complications) and occlusion. More RCTs are needed to understand if the preassembled ISPC is better than the composted closed system (non-integrated SPC + extension line + NFC).PMID:38166435 | DOI:10.1177/11297298231218468 (Source: The Journal of Vascular Access)

Fatal superior vena cava rupture complicating dialysis catheter exchange
In this report, we describe a case of a 25-year-old woman who presented with an extensive history of multiple dialysis access failure for left internal jugular vein central venous tunneled catheter exchange. The procedure was complicated by a fatal superior vena cava rupture likely related to the dislodgment of the guidewire causing perforation into the pericardium space with subsequent cardiopulmonary collapse. The post-mortem autopsy showed severe organized stenosis of SVC and transmural defect above the SVC/atrial junction.PMID:38166439 | DOI:10.1177/11297298231219288 (Source: The Journal of Vascular Access)
