A Monocenter Prospective Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter to Tunnelled Central Catheter With Cuff in Home Parenteral Nutrition for Long-term Used.

Summary

Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) is the reference treatment for anatomic or fonctionnal chronic intestinal failure. Nutritionnal catheter must follow two rules: low infection rate and be able to preserve the permeability of the central vein. Today, in europeen guidelines, two types of central devices are recommended: tunnelled central catheter with cuff and implanted ports. However, their insertion is not without risk. Since many years, we have seen a new generation of catheter - peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC line)- which have many advantage over other central catheter. ESPEN guidelines accept the use of PICC line in short and moderate-term for HPN, but no prospective study have look for long-term used in HPN.

The objective of our study is to evaluate in a prospective randomised monocenter study the no-inferiority of PICC line to tunnelled central catheter with cuff for serious catheter related-complications such as infection and thrombophlebitis for patient on HPN over 1 month of duration. The secondary objectives are to: evaluate the number of patients with at least one serious complications related in 1000 days of used, the rate of minors and majors complications, number of catheter inserted, the satisfaction of patients and doctors.

The study is held in CHU Nice and will be proposed to hospitalized patients who will need HPN. After consent, patients will be randomized to receive PICC Line (group A) of nutritional central catheter with cuff (group B). Echography of vessels will be held at the beginning, 3 months and 12 months. Follow-up will be conduct at regular interval (month 0-1-3-6-9-12). The duration of follow-up will be of 12 months and the global duration of the study will be 36 months. One major complication will conduct to withdrawal of the study. There will be 55 patients in each group.

Conditions

• Chronic Intestinal Failure

Interventions

DEVICE

group Piccnut

Vessels echography will be systematically repeated at 3 months and 12 months for thrombosis research. Follow-up visit will be held at 1,3,6,9 and 12 months. At every step, major and minor complications will be noted by the investigators.

DEVICE

Tunnelled nutritional central catheter

After consent, patients will be randomised to PICC Line (group A) or tunnelled nutritional central catheter with cuff (group B). Duration of inclusion will be 24 months. After randomisation, patients will have catheter inserted by a competent radiologist following an echography. Radiologist will have to answer a questionnaire and doctors will note any catheter-related complications. After that, vessels echography will be systematically repeated at 3 months and 12 months for thrombosis research. Follow-up visit will be held at 1,3,6,9 and 12 months. At every step, major and minor complications will be noted by the investigators.
