- Abstract
Central venous catheters (CVCs) are often inserted into boys with hemophilia to secure venous access for factor prophylaxis and immune tolerance induction therapy. Complications associated with CVCs include catheter-related infections, local hemorrhage, and mechanical failure. Less frequently reported is CVC-related deep venous thrombosis (DVT). We conducted a prospective study to determine the frequency and outcome of this complication.
