www.evanetwork.info requires setting up a login id and password,
which I did. Still did not find any listing for the latest set of
guidelines on thrombosis that Dr. Biffi presented at AVA
www.gavecelt.org is all in Italian and I can not read it.
I still think they are waiting for this set of guidelines to be
accepted and published in a journal. Lynn

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
