Les voies veineuses centrales de longue durée type PICC (cathéter central à insertion périphérique) et CCI (chambres à cathéter implantables) : Le point en oncologie

Totally implantable venous access ports (TIVAP) and peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) have been used in oncology for several years, and are of considerable interest for our team. After describing these devices, we will discuss their approved indications in oncology, as well as the guidelines for their insertion and withdrawal. Mechanical complications are rare for both devices. Thrombotic and infectious complications are more common, especially for PICC. Several expert guidelines have emerged in recent years in order to guide healthcare professionals in the use of these devices and in the prevention of their complications.
