Comparison of perioperative practices for placement of central venous access devices (CVAD) in children with haemophilia

Abstract

In children with haemophilia (CwH), central venous access devices (CVADs) are frequently placed to aid in the delivery of factor concentrates. In those who develop inhibitors, CVADs also allow for easy venous access and facilitation of immune tolerance therapy.
