Abstract: Objective To compare the therapeutic effect of central venous catheter (PICC) and central venous catheter (CVC) on patients with liver cancer. Methods Total of 90 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma were randomly divided into PICC group and CVC group, 45 cases in each group. The success rate of one-time puncture, catheterization time and complications were observed. Results The success rate of one-time puncture in PICC group (91.1%) was significantly higher than that of the CVC group (75.6%) (χ 2 = 3.92, P = 0.041); the catheterization time of PICC group (182 days) was significantly longer than that of the CVC group (65 days) (u = 3.11, P = 0.023); the incidence of complications in PICC group (8.8%) was lower than that of the CVC group (24.4%) and the difference were statistically significant (χ 2 = 3.92, P = 0.041). Conclusions The PICC should be the first choice for liver cancer patients who need long-term catheterization treatment.
