Peripherally inserted central venous catheters: alternative or first choice vascular access?
Conclusions Ultrasound-guided and fluoroscopy-positioned PICC placement had a low incidence of complications, reduced infection rates, and proved safe and effective in cases of difficult vascular access. PICCs can be considered the devices of choice for central vascular access.

Persistent left superior vena cava: case report
We present the case of a 14-year-old female patient in whom a persistent left superior vena cava was diagnosed as an incidental finding of a control imaging exam after placement of a totally implantable venous catheter. The patient did not exhibit any difficulties with infusion of chemotherapy via the catheter and there were no complications related to the catheter.

Effects Of Exercise On Vascular Toxicity Associated With Breast Cancer Treatment: A Narrative Review
Curr Vasc Pharmacol. 2022 Dec 28. doi: 10.2174/1570161121666221228141150. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBreast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide, and its incidence is linearly associated with age. The development of cancer treatments has changed the prognosis of this disease. Despite effective treatments, cardiovascular complications in middle-aged and older women have become challenging. Physical exercise is a powerful tool to prevent senescence symptoms and diseases, besides being an essential component for cardiovascular diseases and cancer prevention and treatment. The present narrative review cons...

Do 'Videos' sections of Internet search engines provide accurate and adequate information about totally implantable venous access ports?
CONCLUSION: Internet search engines' 'Videos' sections have the potential of providing information about totally implantable venous access ports. However, they are vulnerable to providing unreliable information. This study has showed that videos about totally implantable venous access ports are insufficient in terms of reliability and integrity and may mislead patients.

PICC-PORT totally implantable vascular access device in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
CONCLUSION: The peripherally inserted central catheter-PORT is a safe vascular device for chemotherapy delivery that achieves similar clinical results as traditional long-term vascular access devices (peripherally inserted central catheter and arm totally implantable vascular access device, in particular) in breast cancer patients.

Treatment of Corticosteroid-Resistant Vascular Tumors Associated with the Kasabach-Merritt Phenomenon in Infants: An Approach with Transcatheter Arterial Embolization Plus Vincristine Therapy
Conclusions TAE plus vincristine can rapidly improve levels of platelets and fibrinogen, and it is an effective method for treatment of corticosteroid-resistant vascular tumors associated with Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon in infants.

An arterial access system for targeted chemotherapy delivery and arterial-arterial extracorporeal recirculation for 'end stage' peripheral vascular disease
CONCLUSION: The access system allows repeatable steerable multi-catheter arterial access for chemotherapy delivery to address difficulties of concentration, dilution, plasma binding and microvascular control. The access system supports multiple repeatable suprasystolic extracorporeal arterial to arterial access. It is cardiac independent generating flows of greater than 1 L/min with zero flow in between treatments. The device logistics compares favourably with arteriovenous and venovenous access systems.PMID:37029684 | DOI:10.1177/11297298231165642
