Neonatal hypertension and thrombosis of the ductus arteriosus

Am J Perinatol. 1991 Mar;8(2):77-9. doi: 10.1055/s-2007-999347.

Abstract

In a case of neonatal hypertension, radiographic findings showed multiple thromboembolism from the ductus arteriosis diverticulum. Hypertension was well controlled by captopril during the neonatal period. The long-term follow-up of 8 years with normal cardiovascular and renal function indicates a good prognosis for acquired renovascular neonatal hypertension.
