title: Umbilical artery clot in the neonate: spontaneous resolution.
abstract: Ultrasound has proved to be an effective means of monitoring umbilical artery catheters in the neonate for clot formation. Once a large clot has formed, it usually takes several weeks to months before it completely disappears. This is a report of a large clot that spontaneously resolved in ten days.
