Depending on its size, you might not be able to obtain a blood sample from a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC). For example, drawing blood from small-gauge PICC lines (2 or 3 French) can be difficult. Although sources vary, the Infusion Nurses Society recommends using the distal port of a multi-lumen catheter for blood sampling. The distal port is largest (16-gauge) and has a greater flow rate.
Catheter embolization is performed to: 1  control or prevent abnormal bleeding, including: 2  bleeding that results from an injury, tumor or gastrointestinal tract lesions such as ulcer or diverticular disease. 3  Embolization is commonly the first line of treatment in gastrointestinal bleeding of any cause. very small skin incision is made at the site. Using image-guidance, a catheter (a long, thin, hollow plastic tube) is inserted through the skin to the treatment site. A contrast material then is injected through the catheter and a series of x-rays are taken to locate the exact site of bleeding or abnormality.
