Epicutaneo-cava catheters(n-PICC) are widely used in neonates for long-term nutritional support and medication administration, reducing the need for frequent invasive punctures. However, catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) is a serious complication of n-PICC placement. Due to the developmental immaturity of the neonatal coagulation system, neonates are at an increased risk of thrombosis. Currently, there is no standardized protocol for the diagnosis and management of CRT in neonates. This review summarizes the current understanding of risk factors, diagnostic approaches, treatment strategies, and preventive measures for CRT in neonates, aiming to provide clinical guidance.
