As we know tips can move in either direction after placement dependent on body position. I am wondering what people do when a properly PICC patient is found later in time to have the PICC tip in the RA on an incidental finding and has no symptoms. Are you leaving tip there or pulling back?
Thank you

Incidental PICC tip findings
2016 INS Standards state a CVAD tip can be in RA for up to 2 cm without repositioning. Lynn
