Abstract
Success of dialysis or apheresis is due to a large part to the good choice of vascular access. Indeed, for both dialysis and apheresis, the blood flow in the catheter should remain as laminar as possible so to maintain correct suction and reinjection pressures and reduce hemolysis. Optimal blood flow is directly related to the site of insertion, length, and diameter of the catheter. This chapter will summarize current recommendations for vascular access in children with renal failure requiring dialysis or affected by clinical conditions requiring apheresis.
