Abstract

Mechanical thrombectomy is generally used in adult patients with pulmonary embolism or extensive venous thromboembolism, but it is starting to become more prevalent in the children. We present a unique case of a 3-year-old female with very early-onset inflammatory bowel disease with extensive venous thromboembolism who underwent successful mechanical thrombectomy.

Keywords: Mechanical thrombectomy; venous thrombosis; very early-onset inflammatory bowel disease.
