Incidence of fibroblastic sleeve in midline catheters: A pilot study in a non-intensive medical department
Amongst patients with MCs, the incidence of FS is higher than CRT, and it is ultrasound-detectable 1 week after insertion. In most cases, it is asymptomatic and not associated with device malfunction. Improving FS detection is key to avoid misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment and improved management of hospitalized patients.
