Makker and Lubahn's report1 of an infant with renovascular hypertension should have included more details of this low-birthweight infant's immediate neonatal management. In particular, was an umbilical artery catheter passed, where was its tip positioned, how long was it in place, etc.? Plumer et al.2 reported on ten infants with severe hypertension, eight of whom had a history of umbilical artery catheter placement as newborns. Can a catheter be implicated in the case of the infant reported by Makker and Lubahn?
