“…9 Interventional treatment includes thrombolysis using a tissue plasminogen activator which can be catheter directed or systemic, and surgical thrombectomy, particularly if larger vessels such as the abdominal aorta are involved. 10 A retroperitoneal approach may carry less morbidity than a trans-peritoneal approach while preserving excellent access to the aorta. Thrombolysis regimes reported to date concentrate primarily on thrombosis following cardiac catheterisation or ischaemic stroke and these are confined to case reports and small series.…”

“…>3 Since 1935 several cases of primary occlusion of arterial vessels have been reported in the literature without clear etiological explanations of the events. [4][5][6][7] We would like to describe two new cases of newborns with this type of problem: one with right femoral artery obstruction and one with left c o m m o n iliac artery obstruction. These conditions were diagnosed in the first days of life, and both infants were referred to our hospital from the same geographical area within a 2-week period.…”

The occlusion of major arteries in newborns is usually associated with catheterization of the umbilical vessels. It occurs very rarely instead as a primary disorder, and the cause is still unclear. We present two new cases of newborns with this type of disease, which were resolved with the only medical treatment. The literature is reviewed, and the usefulness of the different diagnostic procedures is discussed.

Obstructive aortic and renal thrombosis in the newborn ? spontaneous recovery

1992

A 13-day-old infant presented with acute renal failure secondary to a large thrombus formation involving the umbilical aorta and both renal arteries. The initial clinical manifestations were hematuria, followed by anuria, severe dehydration, grunting respirations, and cyanosis of her feet. She was treated with intravenous fluids and peritoneal dialysis. At the onset, there was no blood flow into the abdominal aorta or into the kidneys. Heparinization and fibrinolytic therapies were unsuccessful in dissolving the clot. However, the aortic clot recanalized spontaneously a few weeks later, but the renal arteries remained permanently occluded. Despite this, her kidneys showed blood flow bilaterally and she recovered her renal function, probably by reperfusing her kidneys through collateral circulation. Malignant hypertension ensued after improvement of renal function, but it could be controlled by appropriate antihypertensive therapy.
