Routine postprocedure ultrasound increases rate of detection of femoral arterial thrombosis in infants after cardiac catheterization

Objectives To examine the effect of implementing postcatheterization ultrasound (US) on femoral arterial thrombosis detection rates and factors associated with thrombosis in infants. Background Although femoral arterial thrombosis is an uncommon complication of cardiac catheterization, it can cause limb threatening complications. Previous studies assessing the utility of postprocedure US to detect thrombosis in infants have utilized US as an...
