Tilte"Venous thrombosis in a 36-dayold infant with transposition of the great arteries and supraventricular tachycardia"

Pediatric venous thromboembolism (VTE), although uncommon, can lead  to serious morbidity and mortality. Cyanotic congenital heart diseases are  one of the most common causes of VTE in children, especially when it is  associated with other risk factors for thrombosis. We therefore report a case of right femoral vein thrombosis in a 36-day- old infant with transposition of the great arteries who had supraventricular  tachycardia and bronchopneumonia.
