Did you consult hematologist?
What about thrombocytopenia? ( Yes/No), Coagulation profile, Anti Xa level monitoring, did you follow it to guide therapy of LMWH,
Did you consult plastic surgeons?
Did you screen for thrombosis workup, protein C, and S, factor V leiden deficiency
There are no set guidelines to guide treatment for thrombosis in newborn, but here in canada we do treat with LMWH, follow serial anti Xa level, to guide therapy ,involve hematology/thrombosis team, and follow serial US with doppler .
Length of treatment varies with size of thrombosis.
Strange that in spite of thrombosis, patient went for surgery. was he on LMWH at that time?
