Tiny clots, big choices: intervening on neonatal aortic thrombosis—a novel framework for clinical decision-making
We propose a diagnostic approach for newborns with diminished or absent femoral pulses without structural heart or vascular disease. Interventional thrombectomy is a viable option for neonates with spontaneous aortic thrombosis in life-threatening situations involving decreased systolic function or organ failure. Further studies are needed to evaluate safety and long-term outcomes of catheter-based interventions.
