Central venous catheter-related thrombosis daily assessment
“CRT is a frequent complication. It can occur as soon as the CVC is placed and mostly during the first week following catheterization. Half of the thromboses are small but one-third are extensive. They are often non-progressive and may be resolved after CVC removal” Wu et al (2023).
Implantable port-associated thrombosis in pediatric oncology patients – Full Text
