Novel approach for Recanalization and Limb Saving Following Acute Thrombosis of Upper Limb Arteries in Two Neonates After Congenital Heart Surgery

Klin Padiatr DOI: 10.1055/a-1258-4349Neonates with congenital heart disease are at a high risk of vascular thrombosis. Thrombosis may occur due to vascular injury, increased blood viscosity secondary to polycythemia associated with congenital cyanotic heart diseases, or stasis of blood flow associated with low cardiac output (Schmidt B & Andrew M., Pediatrics 1995; 96: 939–943. Veldman A et al.,Vasc Health Risk Manag 2008; 4: 1337–1348).
