An infant presented 10 days after removal of a high umbilical arterial catheter with total occlusion of the distal abdominal aorta. Complete dissolution was achieved with a combination of iv tissue plasminogen activator and heparin. Ultrasound examination confirmed the diagnosis and subsequent resolution of the thrombus.Keywords
