INTRODUCTION: Spontaneous thrombus in the ductus arteriosus (DA) is a rare condition that can be the cause of potentially fatal thromboembolism. METHODS AND RESULTS: The case of a male newborn with a thrombus in the DA is described. He was treated with anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy. Transthoracic echocardiography documented regression of the thrombus. DISCUSSION: The incidence, complications and management of this condition, which may occur in association with a DA aneurysm, are discussed. CONCLUSION: An initial medical approach, with anticoagulation and antiplatelet medication, may provide good outcomes, avoiding surgical procedures. |
