This episode focuses on Catheter-Related Thrombosis (CRT), a condition accounting for most upper extremity DVTs and approximately 10% of all VTEs. However, with the increasing use of peripherally inserted central catheters, the incidence of CRT is expected to rise further.

Central venous catheters (CVCs) are indispensable in modern medicine, especially for patients needing long-term intravenous therapy, chemotherapy, hemodialysis, or parenteral nutrition. Despite their benefits, CVCs can lead to several complications, with CRT being one of the most significant.
