ABSTRACT
Insertion of intravascular catheters may be the most common procedure in neonatal intensive care units. One of these kinds of catheters, umbilical venous catheter is generally used for the small and sick neonates. But the indwelling umbilical venous catheter can cause many complications. The most common complication is thrombus formation in the lumen of the catheter. Neonatal thrombosis has symptomatic or asymptomatic clinical manifestations, which may have serious complications in case of intracardiac thrombosis. In our experience, the infant who has no symptom of thrombosis was treated with low dose aspirin and warfarin for right atrium thrombosis caused by umbilical venous catheterization. So, we report a case of right atrium thrombosis following umbilical catheterization in neonatal intensive care units.
