Sequential inferior vena cava filter insertion and peripherally inserted central catheter placement through upper extremity veins.
To report the sequential placement of inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) and peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) using the same upper extremity venous access. ⋯ Simultaneous IVCF and PICC insertion using the same upper extremity venous access was feasible and safe in our series. This combined technique provides the patient with central venous access for repeated blood collections and intravenous therapy.
