It is a catheter that enters the body through the skin (percutaneously) at a peripheral site, extends to the superior vena cava (a central venous trunk), and stays in place (dwells within the veins) for days or weeks.First described in 1975, it is an alternative to central venous catheters such as subclavian lines, internal jugular lines or femoral lines, which have higher rates of infection—subclavian and jugular line placements may result in pneumothorax (air in the pleural space of lung), while PICC lines have no such issue because of the method of placement."@en }
