Subject: Re: [vascular] PICC in SVC with curl

The only thing written is an old article from the FDA stating the catheter should lie parallel to the vein wall and be free-floating. The curl would allow greater contact with the vein wall which could increase the risk of thrombosis. But no published info that I know of. Lynn
