PURPOSE: To report the sequential placement of @entity6323 ( @entity6323 ) and peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) using the same upper extremity venous access. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a retrospective study that reviewed the medical records of 379  consecutive @entity1 who underwent @entity6323 insertion during a 39-month period at our center. Of these 379  @entity1 , 28  @entity1 had sequential insertion of an @entity6323 and a PICC through the same upper extremity venous access. The same vein entry site was used for placement of the @entity6323 followed by PICC insertion. Data collected included: indication and duration of @entity6323 and PICC placement, access site location, complications, and the type of @entity6323 . RESULTS: IVCFs were placed for prophylactic purposes in 15  @entity1 (53.6%) and therapeutic purposes in 13  @entity1 (46.4%). Right upper extremity veins were used for venous access in 27  @entity1 (96.4%): brachial (n=16), basilic (n=9), and cephalic (n=2). The left basilic vein was used in one @entity1 (3.6%). IVCFs were temporary in 20  @entity1 (71.4%) and permanent in 8  @entity1 (28.6%). There were no procedural complications. The OptEase filter was used in 23  @entity1 (82.1%) and the TrapEase filter was used in 5  @entity1 (17.9%). CONCLUSION: Simultaneous @entity6323 and PICC insertion using the same upper extremity venous access was feasible and safe in our series. This combined technique provides the @entity1 with central venous access for repeated blood collections and intravenous therapy.
