Management of Central Venous Access in Children With Intestinal Failure

1. Tunneled, single lumen, cuffed silicone catheters should be used for children with intestinal failure.
2. Upper extremity access is the preferred location when available.
3. Alternative line sites and endovascular procedures should only be done by experienced interventionalists in discussion with an intestinal transplant center when transplant evaluation has been or will be sought.
