Performance and safety of Femorally Inserted Central Catheters in oncological patients: A cases series analysis
When inserted using modern protocols and technologies, FICCs offer a safe and effective alternative for oncology patients without viable upper-body venous access. This approach minimizes complications and enables timely catheter placement, supporting the broader adoption of lower-body central access in specific patient populations.
