Pick up the conference tape from AVA and the Italian
Physician consensus on thrombosis and oncology patients. Dr. Biffi from
Italy spoke and he suggested leaving the line in and treating the patient via
the line. I suggest getting the tap or picking up his guidelines which
were part of the EVAN consensus. EVAN stands for Europe not the AVA
newsletter. They did publish their consensus statement GaceVELT (I think
by memory) in an English publication, Hadaway may have her notes and know
what publication

We are have had a few DVT with the
PICC recently on our oncology floor. What is the standard out there on leaving
the PICC in and giving lovenox or Heaprin,and continuing with the chemo(SVC
placement) or removing. Thses are patients that are compromised to begin with
and one had a mastectomy so the opposite arm was not a choice.What is everyone
doing in these situations?
Thank you in advance
