Abstract
Vascular catheter use in children on HD therapy is high. This is partially explained by expeditious transplantation and technical barriers to AVF/AVG placement in small children; however, only one-third of patients with a vascular catheter underwent transplantation within 1 year. Interventions to decrease vascular catheter use in this population may be necessary.
