We report a case of an 11-year-old child with end-stage renal disease and extensive systemic venous thrombosis including the inferior and superior vena cava. Transhepatic portal vein hemodialysis tunneled catheter was inserted after exhausting all other possible venous access through internal jugular, subclavian, femoral, and hepatic veins.

Difficult hemodialysis access - hemodialysis in central venous occlusion - portal vein hemodialysis - uncommon venous access - vascular access in extensive thrombosis
