Abstract
Seven newborns were treated with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator for arterial thromboses. Complete lysis occurred in four of seven and partial in two of seven patients. Serious bleeding complications were observed in two of seven patients. This and published experience suggest that successful lysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator occurs in most patients and that hemorrhagic complications are unusual but are not.
