Ankle brachial index in patient with a picc line?

An ankle-brachial index (ABI) test may not be accurate in a patient with a PICC line due to potential obstruction of arterial blood flow in the arm where the line is placed. This can lead to falsely elevated ABI results. It is important to assess other methods for peripheral arterial disease diagnosis in such cases.


What is a pick line?

I think you mean PICC line. A PICC line is, by definition and per its acronym, a peripherally inserted central catheter. It is long, slender, small, flexible tube that is inserted into a peripheral vein, typically in the upper arm, and advanced until the catheter tip terminates in a large vein in the chest near the heart to obtain intravenous access. It is similar to other central lines as it terminates into a large vessel near the heart. However, unlike other central lines, its point of entry is from the periphery of the body � the extremities. And typically the upper arm is the area of choice.
