A member of the publication committee for the American Pediatric Surgical Association, Brian Gilchrist, MD completed an Advanced Laparoscopic Pediatric Surgery Course at George Washington University Hospital in 1995. Dr. Brian Gilbert also has many scientific publications. He has written papers and presented nationally and internationally on neonatal conditions such as necrotizing enterocolitis and iatrogenic vascular lesions.
Iatrogenic vascular lesions are a group of vessel-related disorders in neonates that may develop during the fetal period or shortly after birth. Often, these lesions occur in infants who are recipients of aggressive treatments (mostly performed in the neonatal intensive care units) for issues such as extremely low birth weight or low birth weight.
These treatments, which often require interventions like repeated arterial blood sampling, cardiac catheterization, umbilical or central vein catheterization, and venipuncture on the tiny vessels of neonates, can result in vascular lesions. The four most commonly described vascular lesions are pseudoaneurysms, thromboses, arteriovenous fistulas, and limb ischemia.
