  • Title: Venous access in the management of hemophilia.
    Author: Valentino LA, Kawji M, Grygotis M.
    Journal: Blood Rev; 2011 Jan; 25(1):11-5. PubMed ID: 21030121.
    Abstract:
    Venous access is an essential aspect of hemophilia care. When peripheral venipuncture is not feasible, central venous access devices (CVADs) or the creation of an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) allow the infusion of clotting factor concentrate to treat or prevent bleeding events or eliminate inhibitors. Infection is the primary complication associated with CVADs and the most common reason for their removal. Complications of AVF include occlusion and limb length discrepancies.
