Urologic complications of neonatal umbilical arterial catheterization
The Journal of Urology
|November 1, 1978
Abstract:
Two cases are presented illustrating the emergent and potentially lethal complications of neonatal umbilical artery catheterization that may confront the pediatric urologist. Immediate aortography via the umbilical artery catheter usually will be diagnostic. Prompt surgical intervention is advocated if uncontrollable renovascular hypertension or a false aneurysm is found.
