ABSTRACT
In patients requiring long term central venous access, common venous access routes may become occluded. Surgical placement of central venous catheters may not always be possible or optimal. Percutaneous translumbar inferior vena cava central line placement offers an additional access route. The technique of translumbar inferior vena cava central venous access is described in a critically ill child.
