[Peripheral arterial catheterization in neonates and infants. Remote study of the arterial permeability by the Doppler effect].
Nineteen peripheral arteries were examined by Doppler US 1 month to 2 years after their catheterization. Two of them were completely obstructed and 4 showed signs of arterial stenosis. No functional repercussion was observed. This minor risk seems low as compared to the advantages of the technique.
