ABSTRACT
Umbilical catheterization is one of the common procedures performed in the neonatal intensive care unit, but it is sometimes associated with significant complications. Atrial flutter (AF) is a rare cardiac complication following the insertion of an umbilical venous catheter. We report a newborn infant who developed AF after umbilical venous catheterization. The tachyarrhythmia was successfully managed with synchronized cardioversion. There were no recurrent episodes of AF and antiarrhythmic medications were not needed on the follow-up.
