Neonatal embolism due to thrombosis of the ductus arteriosus.
The authors present a case of disseminated emboli originating in a thrombotic, aneurysmal ductus arteriosus in a neonate. In a critically ill neonate, the arteriographic appearance of ectatic, elongated, and tortuous vessels proximal to a stenotic segment is suggestive of multiple arterial emboli.
