Summary

Background: PICC-related thrombosis have shown a slightly different pattern of frequency and
 risk factors, compared with traditional CVC; because of the increasing diffusion of PICCs,
 they are becoming a somehow independent pathology, still under investigation; no
 pharmacological prevention has proved to be effective. Aim of this study is to estimate the
 cumulative incidence of thrombosis in a cohort of patients carrying a PICC-line CVC,
 monitored to allow an early detection and prevention of complications related to the presence
 of asymptomatic deep venous thrombosis, and to explore the role of several potential risk
 factors.
 
 Methods: in a prospective observational cohort we will enroll 150 consecutive patients having
 a PICC inserted by our team; clinical characteristics, comorbidities and main features of
 catheter positioning procedure will be registered; patients will be followed with clinical
 and echographic scheduled controls, weekly for the first month, then monthly; patients with
 PRDVT will be treated with LMWH and recontrolled weekly until removal of catheter
