Aortic thrombosis successfully treated with local recombinant tissue plasminogen activator in a newborn

Arterial thrombosis in newborns varies depending on the location of the thrombus and can be a life-threatening emergency. We present a case of extensive aorta thrombosis with a left kidney thrombosis in a newborn successful treated with local recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator.
