    AbstractCatheter-induced venous thrombosis remains a significant problem in current clinical practice. A high level of biocompatibility of the materials used to manufacture the existing venous access devices has not eliminated catheter-induced venous thrombosis. Similarly, catheter bonding with anticoagulants or their systemic use, while in some instances having a favorable effect on the incidence, has not eliminated this problem. The focus of this article is on discussion of the various factors that influence formation of catheter-induced venous thrombosis. Also discussed is the management of this clinical problem, and a useful algorithm is outlined.Copyright 2002, Elsevier Science (USA). All rights reserved.
