title: Percutaneous hydrodynamic thrombectomy for congenital deep vein thrombosis in a neonate.
abstract: A 1-day-old boy with a complete occlusive inferior vena cava and bilateral renal vein thrombus removed successfully using a hydrodynamic thrombectomy catheter is reported. Although blood flow to the inferior vena cava and bilateral renal veins was restored with no distal embolism or vascular injury, he died of bleeding complications due to fibrinolytic therapy after hydrodynamic thrombectomy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of hydrodynamic thrombectomy of a neonate.
