  • Title: Umbilical artery catheter use complicated by pseudoaneurysm of the aorta.
    Author: Wyers MR, McAlister WH.
    Journal: Pediatr Radiol; 2002 Mar; 32(3):199-201. PubMed ID: 12164355.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of a large aortic mycotic pseudoaneurysm in a premature infant, a rare but serious complication associated with sepsis and umbilical artery catheter (UAC) use. Sonography is an appropriate first-line imaging modality for detection of aortic pseudoaneurysms. Increased awareness of this rare complication may lead to earlier diagnosis in the high-risk premature infant with a history of a UAC and sepsis.
