Can a pick line be removed if requested when you have blood?

How do they monitor the clots l am on injections now for 10 days?

 

should l have another scan to see if it can be removed?

 

thank you

  • Hello Fay2448

    I'm presuming from your post that you've had some issues with blood clots with your PICC line. I'm really sorry to hear this. It's understandable that you're feeling worried about things. 

    I think the best people to speak to would be your Consultant or the nurse team that are looking after you as they will know your individual circumstances. 

    However, if you'd like to chat to one of our nurses for some advice and support then you're welcome to call them. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Best wishes,
