Do asymptomatic clots in children matter?
2020, Thrombosis ResearchCitation Excerpt :Nine studies reported the incidence of A-VTE either in a cohort of neonates or a sub-group of neonates within in larger sample of children [13,33,39–45]. Only two of these studies identified A-VTE through prospective screening [13,40]. An RCT, comparing the rate of VTE between long-term and short-term use of umbilical vein catheters, had a rate of VTE of 5% among 210 infants, with no significant difference in the rate of thrombi between groups.
Major thrombotic complications with lower limb PICCs in surgical neonates
2015, Journal of Pediatric SurgeryCitation Excerpt :The PICCs were all placed near at the time of NICU admission and increase in length of the patient was likely substantial during their NICU course. The incidence of VTE in the newborn depends on the zeal with which surveillance is performed, the timing and frequency of monitoring, and the diagnostic method used [7–10,23]. Assessment for VTE is variable and controversial: use of clinical signs alone, plain XR, ultrasound or venography.
Central venous catheter-related thrombosis and thromboprophylaxis in children: A systematic review and meta-analysis

2008, Journal of Pediatric SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Superior vena cava syndromes occur after a severe decrease in venous return from the upper part of the body. Obstructions resulting from a decrease in blood flow can be intraluminal (obstructed catheter, thrombosis, stenosis) or extraluminal (compressive mass) [1,2]. The CVC-related obstructions are a challenging but well-known complication in children who are dependent on central venous access [3,4].
