Palliative care in cancer: Which central venous access devices are associated with higher complication rates?

27 Nov 2023 by

A systematic review and meta-analysis by researchers from the University of Hong Kong has shown that the use of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) is associated with a higher rate of complications than central lines in terminally ill cancer patients with central venous access devices (CVADs) for palliative care. No conclusions were reached regarding the use of totally implanted ports (PORTs), as no studies on PORTs were eligible for analysis.
