Leg growth following umbilical artery catheter-associated thrombus formation: a 4-year follow-up.
Fourteen children were re-examined 4 years following the radiographic demonstration of umbilical artery catheter associated thrombus formation. Positive correlations could not be established between radiographically determined femoral and/or tibial lengths, length differences, pulse pressure differences, and the location of thrombi noted on the 1971 aortograms.
