AbstractCentral venous access can be challenging in children with thrombosed central veins, particularly those who are dependent on parenteral nutrition. The present report describes a 2-year-old child with short bowel syndrome and chronically thrombosed jugular, subclavian, and femoral veins in whom a tunneled central venous catheter was successfully placed percutaneously via the internal thoracic vein.Copyright 2010 SIR.
