Posterior to placement of umbilical arterial catheter, confirming diagnostic of thrombosis in aorta and left renal artery. A gamagraphy with MAG 3 was performed that gave evidence of left renal exclusion and aorta and left renal angioresonance. A management with no fractional heparin and streptokinase during 6 hours was initiated. The compromise in lower extremities was totally recovered, improving presure values in a few days. Following studies of renal function and growth give evidence of left renal artery flow and some function. This report describes an improvement with anticoagulant and thrombolitic treatment of a newborn kidney depite of a prolonged ischemia.
