Crit Care Med 2000; 28:3332-3338. Using meta-analysis, this study shows that antimicrobial-impregnated and heparin-bonded central venous catheters significantly decrease catheter-related bloodstream infections by 2.32% (95% confidence interval, 1.04% to 3.61%).

Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2000; 21:375-380. Formal economic analyses indicate that central venous catheters coated with antimicrobial agents (such as chlorhexidine-silver sulfadiazine or minocycline-rifampin) likely reduce infectious complications, yielding economic advantages.

This clinical trial clearly demonstrates that a valved PICC design results in a lower incidence of occlusion, infection and malfunction than a clamped catheter.
