      Background:
      The aim was to investigate the clinical effect and complication incidence of placing femoral venous catheters (FVCs) at different sites in patients with superior vena cava obstruction (SVCO). This study provides a basis for optimized vascular access in SVCO patients.

      Methods:
      Patients who underwent advanced lung cancer plus SVCO and received initial chemotherapy were treated in our hospital from July 2013 to January 2015. These patients were randomly divided into the observation and control groups. The observation group received “mid-thigh femoral venous catheters,” whereas the control group was treated with “groin femoral venous catheters.” The effect of catheter placement as well as the incidence of complications were compared between these two groups.

      Results:
      The bleeding scores (2.44±0.62 vs. 1.36±0.49), the retention time (195.08±39.19 days vs. 91.53±32.88 days), the patient comfort scores (4.20±0.87 vs. 1.35±0.91), and the pain scores (1.64±0.91 vs. 2.42±1.08) were all recorded and compared between the observation and control groups. The differences are statistically significant (P<0.001). Moreover, there are statistically significant differences in catheter-associated thrombosis (1.69% vs. 14.55%), catheter entry site infection (1.69% vs. 21.82%), and the incidence of total complications (11.86% vs. 45.45%) between the observation and control groups (P<0.05). However, the differences in both the one-time success rate of catheterization (98.32% vs. 98.18%) and the catheter occlusion (8.48% vs. 9.09%) are not significant between the observation and control groups (P>0.05).

      Conclusion:
      Compared to groin femoral venous catheters, mid-thigh femoral venous catheters have good catheter placement effect, low complication incidence rate, and little influence on patients’ degree of comfort; therefore, it is a suitable treatment for SVCO patients.
