Cardiac Embolism and PICCs

Recently, our PICC Team had a request for a line to be placed in a patient who had multiple blood clots in his lower extremtities, lungs and right atrium. We were quite hesitant but multiple medical providers felt it was appropriate and did not place the patient at increased risk. Is there a policy or standard out there to address such a a scenario?
