Does anyone have a specific criteria or research studies to clarify if a DVT is related to a PICC/midline. In our team discussions, it seems that everyone has differing opinions, but there is no objective criteria. We all agree that a possible source not related to the PICC/midline could be causitive or contributing factor. I appreciate any information or comments.
Lots of published research on PICC-related vein thrombosis, just do a seaerch on PubMed or Google Scholar. Lynn
