[Re: Limited malignancy screening of patients with idiopathic venous thromboembolism].
BACKGROUND There is a known relationship between venous thromboembolism and cancer, but there is no consensus as to how extensive screening for occult cancer should be in cases of venous thromboembolism with no apparent risk factor (idiopathic venous thromboembolism). The aim of this study was to investigate the extent to which limited screening of patients with idiopathic venous thromboembolis...
متن کاملSplenectomy and the incidence of venous thromboembolism and sepsis in patients with immune thrombocytopenia.
Patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) who relapse after an initial trial of corticosteroid treatment present a therapeutic challenge. Current guidelines recommend consideration of splenectomy, despite the known risks associated with surgery and the postsplenectomy state. To better define these risks, we identified a cohort of 9976 patients with ITP, 1762 of whom underwent splenectomy. The...
متن کاملCoexistence of Antiphospholipid Syndrome and Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia in a Patient with Recurrent Venous Thromboembolism
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a prothrombotic adverse drug reaction in which heparin forms complexes with platelet factor 4 forming neoantigens that are recognized by autoantibodies. Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is similar to HIT in that it is mediated by autoantibodies that are also prothrombotic. We present a case of rare coexistence of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome and he...
