AB Peripherally  inserted  central  catheter  (PICC)  or  percutaneous  central  venous  catheterization  (PCVC)  involves  inserting  a  long  small-gauge  catheter  into  a  peripheral  vein  and  threading  it  into  a  central  venous  location.  The  catheter  can  be  placed  in  large  vessels  such  as  the  temporal  vein  in  the  scalp,  cephalic  and  basilic  veins  in  the  arm,  or  the  saphenous  vein  in  the  leg.
