Transumbilical balloon angioplasty of subclavian artery thrombosis in a neonate.
We present a case of arterial thrombosis of the upper extremity in a 1-day-old neonate. The initial response to thrombolytic and anticoagulant therapy alone was unsuccessful. Distal flow to the extremity was reestablished by combined percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of the subclavian artery using transumbilical access followed by resumption of the thrombolytic and anticoagulant regimen. Cathet. Cardiovasc. Intervent. 49:56-60, 2000.
