Funded Activity Summary

The association between central venous lines (CVL) and blood clots in children is well known. Possible consequences of CVL-related blood clots are line blockage, pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs) and post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). PTS symptoms can be physically limiting, painful and disfiguring. Yet as the incidence of PTS is unknown, the importance of treating CVL-related blood clots is unclear. This study will assess the incidence of PTS and the associated risk factors in children.
