Abstract
Interventional radiologists (IRs) with expertise in image guidance have an inherent skill set for the safe and reliable placement of central venous access catheters (CVACs) in children. Above and beyond the technical requirements, IRs have an integral role as consultants in evaluating children for the most appropriate catheter to meet their short- and long-term needs. This article is meant to serve as a reference for decision making along with tips and pearls on how we approach placing CVACs in pediatric patients at our Children's Hospital.
