Safety and accuracy of intracardiac electrocardiography-guided catheter tip positioning in totally implantable venous access device placement compared to X-ray guidance
Intracardiac electrocardiography (IC-ECG)-guided catheter tip positioning for TIVAD placement has demonstrated accuracy, feasibility, and safety. Given its potential to reduce radiation exposure, improve safety, and offer cost-effectiveness, IC-ECG presents a promising method for catheter tip positioning in TIVAD procedures. Based on these advantages, IC-ECG could be considered a preferable method in clinical practice.
