Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation Associated with Aortic Dissecting Aneurysm

Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation Associated with Aortic Dissecting Aneurysm

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is an acquired coagulation disorder that occurs when the normal hemostatic balance is disturbed, primarily by excessive thrombin formation. Moreover, while DIC is a rare complication of aortic dissecting aneurysm, it is also a well-recognized one. We reported a case of DIC associated with aortic dissecting aneurysm in a 55-year-old woman who was tran...

Use of rivaroxaban for the effective management of disseminated intravascular coagulation associated with abdominal aortic aneurysm.

A 67-year-old man with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) and previous myocardial and cerebral infarctions had uncontrollable bleeding after undergoing dental extraction because of an exacerbation of chronic disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) due to an abdominal aortic aneurysm. After successful treatment of the bleeding with the transfusion of fresh frozen plasma and platelets, na...

Aortic Aneurysm-associated Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation that Responded Well to a Switch from Warfarin to Rivaroxaban

We describe a case in which uncontrolled chronic disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) caused by an aortic aneurysm that was exacerbated by chemotherapy for lung cancer, showed dramatic improvement when warfarin, which was being administered for atrial fibrillation, was replaced by rivaroxaban, a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC). The present case is interesting because a DOAC was effecti...

Hepatic angiosarcoma associated with disseminated intravascular coagulation.

We present a case of hepatic angiosarcoma that presented with disseminated intravascular coagulopathy to highlight the difficulty in diagnosing this disease due its aggressive clinical course, the overlapping features of various coagulopathies, and the nonspecific appearance of angiosarcomas on imaging.
