... one case of PICC was in the right femoral vein and one in the external jugular vein. Figure 2 shows a PICC insertion site in the left basilic vein. The location of the catheter tip was in the superior vena cava (n = 482, 81.4 %), followed by the right atrium (n =52, 8.8 %); other locations were infrequent (Table 2). ...
