Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the difference in thrombosis as a result of internal jugular (IJ) catheters versus peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) lines. It is hypothesized that there will be a decreased rate of thrombosis in patients as a result of IJ catheters verses PICC lines.
Detailed description
In a cohort of patients from Sept 1, 2010 until December 31, 2011 with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has shown that the incidence of IJ thrombosis after short term catheter access occurred in only 1/26 subjects or 4%. The current study is being done to compare this experience with the incidence of thrombosis from PICC lines. A secondary aim will be to determine if variables such as level of renal function, prior history of thrombosis or atherosclerosis contribute to the risk of thrombosis when PICC lines are placed. This data will provide the first comparison of the incidence of thrombotic complications from short term IJ catheter access versus PICC lines.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of Thrombosis | 15 months | To calculate the incidence of deep venous thrombosis from PICC lines in patients |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Demographic Risk Factor Association with Risk of Thrombosis from PICC or IJ access | 15 months | To evaluate if factors, known to be associated with thrombosis and atherosclerosis, are associated with the risk of thrombosis from PICC or IJ access. These factors include: renal failure, diabetes, hypertension, cancer, transplant, gender, age or the indication for the access, including antibiotics or chemotherapy. |
