2012, ChestCitation Excerpt :For neonates and children with a symptomatic peripheral arterial catheter-related TE, we suggest UFH anticoagulation with or without thrombolysis or surgical thrombectomy and microvascular repair with subsequent heparin therapy (Grade 2C). The incidence of symptomatic thrombosis of umbilical arterial catheters (UACs) is 1% to 3%,330–332 with studies using sequential imaging and autopsy data reporting a higher incidence.333,334 Factors increasing risk include longer catheter duration333 and the positioning of the UAC tip, which are routinely described as high or low.
