Abstract
Muhammad Umar Sahi and Taha Haroon Rasul
A preterm newborn baby needs a peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICVC) for the administration of parenteral nutrition (PN), intravenous (IV) fluids and medications. Echocardiogram is performed on this baby to ascertain the presence of PDA. Echocardiogram shows an incidental finding of inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis that is partially blocking the IVC.
