ABSTRACT

La canalización de los vasos umbilicales es un procedimiento frecuente en las unidades de cuidados intensivos neonatales, especialmente en los recién nacidos de muy bajo peso al nacer. Raras veces el catéter arterial umbilical se rompe; los fragmentos retenidos pueden provocar trombosis, infección, embolización distal e incluso la muerte. En este artículo, describimos el caso de un recién nacido con isquemia bilateral, clínicamente significativa, de las extremidades que se manifestó después de la extracción de un catéter arterial umbilical roto. Estaba recibiendo tratamiento vasodilatador junto con fibrinolíticos y anticoagulantes. La evolución fue favorable.


Umbilical vessel catheterization is a common procedure in Neonatal Intensive Care Units, especially in very low birthweight infants. Rarely, umbilical artery catheters break, and the retained fragments can cause thrombosis, infection, distal embolization, and even death. Herein, we describe a neonate with clinically significant bilateral limb ischemia developing after removal of a broken umbilical artery catheter. He was under vasodilator treatment in addition to fibrinolytic and anticoagulants. The evolution was favourable.
