The management of filter-related caval thrombosis complicated by heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis.
This report evaluates the efficiency and safety of catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) using tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and argatroban for the treatment of IVC filter thrombosis complicated by heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). From October 2012 to December 2014, 19 patients with unilateral lower extremity deep venous thrombosis were treated with standard anticoagulation, filter p...
متن کاملPlasmapheresis in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis.
To the Editor: Thrombosis associated with severe thrombocytopenia is an infrequent, but life-threatening side effect of heparin therapy, which can involve any venous or arterial territory including the cerebral circulation. The treatment of this serious complication has not been satisfactorily resolved. Recently, Becker and Miller reviewed heparin-induced thrombocytopenia with thromboembolism a...
متن کاملPapilloedema associated with dural venous sinus thrombosis.
Papilloedema is a diagnostic term used exclusively to describe optic disc oedema associated with increased intracranial pressure. Septic cerebral venous sinus thrombosis has become an increasingly rare cause of papilloedema because of the widespread availability of antimicrobial agents; however, it is imperative for optometrists to maintain vigilance for this pathologic process. Presented is a ...
متن کاملDural sinus thrombosis in children with cancer.
Dural sinus thrombosis (DST) has been reported in association with cancer in both adults and children. We describe the seven patients seen with this complication in our centre between 1981 and 1995. Diagnosis was confirmed by either cerebral CT scanning, MRI or angiography. Median age was 13 years (range 8-15). Six patients were boys. Six children were being treated for non-Hodgkin lymphoma and...
متن کاملAntibodies From Patients With Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia/Thrombosis
Antibodies associated with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia/thrombosis (HITT) are now thought to be specific for complexes formed between heparin and platelet factor 4 (PF4), a basic protein found normally in platelet alpha granules. How these antibodies cause thrombocytopenia and, in some patients, thrombosis, is not fully understood, in part because purified antibodies that could be labeled a...
