Abstract:
We report on a neonate with complete aortic thrombosis following umbilical artery catheterization. Diagnosis was established by colour coded Doppler sonography which showed absent flow in the region distal to the thrombosis. After thrombolytic therapy with recombinant tissue plasminogen recanalization of the descending aorta could be shown by Colour Doppler imaging (CDI).
