Difficult Vascular Access in Children with Short Bowel Syndrome: What to Do Next?

Short Bowel Syndrome and intestinal failure are chronic and severe conditions that may require life-long parenteral nutrition in children. Survival of these children rely on the correct functioning of central venous catheters; therefore, careful management, prevention, and treatment of complications is of paramount importance. Despite a growing awareness of preserving the vascular real estate, a certain number of patients still experience a progressive and life-threatening exhaustion of vascular access. We searched the literature to highlight the current management of children with vascular exhaustion, specifically focusing on vascular access salvage strategies and last-resource alternative routes to central veins. Given the paucity of data, results are reported in the form of a narrative review.

“…In situations in which the diagnosis is unclear despite medical history, imaging and laboratory findings, biopsy of a soft tissue lesion is recommended over bone biopsy. Biopsy of ribs and vertebrae should be avoided as these can result in pleural effusions and CSF leaks [15,16]. In patients with KLA, biopsy may result in significant bleeding and worsen the underlying coagulopathy.…”

Complex lymphatic anomalies are congenital diseases of the lymphatic circulation system that are associated with significant morbidity and early mortality. While guidelines for the comprehensive evaluation of the complex lymphatic anomalies were recently published, the diagnostic approach and medical management are not standardized. The current manuscript presents the clinical features of 4 complex lymphatic anomalies: Gorham-Stout disease, generalized lymphatic anomaly, kaposiform lymphangiomatosis, and central collecting lymphatic anomaly. We also offer three cases from the authors’ practice and our views on diagnostic testing and disease management including supportive care, medical therapies and other interventions.
