ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: We have developed a new approach for peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) insertion that we think has several advantages, including ease of insertion, access to a larger vein and patient comfort.
METHODS: In this case series report, the first 19 cases were audited.
RESULTS: All PICCs were inserted without complications; 17 on the first attempt.
CONCLUSION: We conclude that the novel approach to the axillary vein for PICC insertion is feasible and appears to be safe when performed by an experienced operator.
