Neonatal aortic arch thrombosis

D J Evans et al. Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed. 1994 Sep.

Abstract

An infant presented shortly after birth with signs suggestive of aortic coarctation. Echocardiography revealed an extensive aortic arch thrombus, not amenable to surgery. Thrombolytic agents reduced thrombus size, enabling survival, but failed to prevent neurological damage secondary to cerebral embolisation.
