Abstract
|
|
|
|
Femoral artery thrombosis is an uncommon but potentially serious complication following pediatric cardiac catheterization. Treatment options of thrombosis include intravenous heparin infusion, thrombolytic therapy such as streptokinase, urokinase and tissue plasminogen activator, and surgical thrombectomy. These treatments have varying degrees of success and complication. We report successful use of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator for management of femoral artery thrombosis in neonate following transcatheter balloon valvuloplasty of pulmonary valvular stenosis.
