Purpose Few randomized studies have investigated the impact of valved and non-valved power-injectable peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) in terms of incidence of occlusion, infection, malfunction and venous thrombosis. Methods We have prospectively compared three types of third-generation polyurethane PICCs. One hundred and eighty adult patients candidate to chemotherapy were randomized into three groups: power-injectable PICCs with Solo-2 proximal valve (Bard); power-injectable…

Peripherally Inserted Central catheter iNnovation to reduce Infections and Clots (the PICNIC trial): a randomised controlled trial protocol
TLDR
The primary outcome is PICC failure, a composite of thrombotic complications and infective complications (PICC-associated bloodstream infection and local infection), and effect estimates will be presented as HRs with corresponding 95% CI.
Peripherally inserted central catheter design and material for reducing catheter failure and complications
TLDR
To assess the effectiveness of PICC material and design in reducing catheter failure and complications, a protocol for a Cochrane Review is conducted.
How Does Your PICCOMPARE? A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Various PICC Materials in Pediatrics
TLDR
BioFlo® PICCs appear potentially safer for pediatrics than traditional standard care PICPs with a clamp and further research is required to definitively identify clinical, cost-effective methods to prevent PICC failure and improve reliability.
A comparison of hydrophobic polyurethane and polyurethane peripherally inserted central catheter: results from a feasibility randomized controlled trial
TLDR
This study demonstrates the feasibility of an efficacy trial of PICC materials in an adult population, once adjustments were made to include not only in-patients, but also patients being discharged to the Hospital in the Home service.
Catheter to vein ratio and risk of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC)-associated thrombosis according to diagnostic group: a retrospective cohort study
TLDR
Adherence to CVR cut-offs are an important component of PICC insertion clinical decision making to reduce the risk of thrombosis and it is suggested that in individuals with cancer, the use of a CVR ≤45% should be considered to minimise risk ofThromBosis.
Central venous catheter-related thrombosis in children and adults.
Comparison of two types of catheters through femoral vein catheterization in patients with lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy: A retrospective study
TLDR
Single-lumen power-injectable peripherally inserted central catheters with no valve had a high gravity flow rate, were strong and not prone to rupture, tolerant to high-pressure injection, and were more suitable for femorally insertedcentral venous catheterization in patients with lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy.
Central venous pressure monitoring via peripherally or centrally inserted central catheters: a systematic review and meta-analysis
TLDR
Available evidence supports that CVP monitoring with PICCs is accurate and reproduces similar values to those obtained from CICCs, and the possibility to monitor CVP should not be used among clinical criteria for preferring a CICC over a PICC line.
Insertion of peripherally inserted central catheters with intracavitary electrocardiogram guidance: A randomized multicenter study in China
TLDR
It is indicated that during peripherally inserted central catheters insertion in adult patients, tip location with intracavitary electrocardiogram guidance, as carried out by a new tip-conductive peripherally inserting central catheter and integrated ultrasound device, was more effective and more accurate than tip location using anatomical landmarks.
Antithrombogenic peripherally inserted central catheters: overview of efficacy and safety
TLDR
A review of the laboratory efficacy and clinical effectiveness of antithrombogenic PICCs to prevent PICC-associated thrombosis, as well as their efficiency and safety was informed by a systematic identification of published and unpublished laboratory and clinical studies evaluating these technologies.

Prospective randomized comparison of valved versus nonvalved peripherally inserted central vein catheters.
TLDR
With the valved PICC, occlusion and infection were reduced, and patients having these catheters did not require heparin flushes.
Comparison of three peripherally- inserted central catheters: pilot study
TLDR
This study demonstrated a reduction on the rate of occlusion and rupture with power-injectable PICCs, which makes them safer to use for administration of chemotherapy and other vesicant agents, as well as for the management of patients in critical care.

The Effect of Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) Valve Technology on Catheter Occlusion Rates - The ‘ELeCTRiC’ Study
TLDR
Valved PICCs do not appear to influence PICC occlusion rates, and the dose of urokinase required to treat PICc occlusions did not significantly differ between PICS types.

TLDR
NS is a safe and effective locking solution in implantable ports if combined with a strict protocol for device insertion and maintenance.
Clinical experience with power-injectable PICCs in intensive care patients
TLDR
Power-injectable PICCs have many advantages in the ICU: they can be used as multipurpose central lines for any type of infusion including high-flow infusion, for hemodynamic monitoring, and for high-pressure injection of contrast media during radiological procedures.
