Title: [Severe pulmonary embolism and recurrent thrombophlebitis caused by hereditary antithrombin III deficiency]. Author: Rey JL, Delobel J, Claisse JF, Quiret JC, Bor P, Bernasconi P. Journal: Arch Mal Coeur Vaiss; 1979 Aug; 72(8):919-23. PubMed ID: 115439. Abstract: Severe pulmonary embolism with thrombosis of the inferior vena cava was observed in a 16 year old girl with no risk factors and treated successfully by fibrinolytic therapy. Secondarily, despite heparino-therapy, upper limb venous thrombosis occurred. Investigation of the clotting factors in the patient and her family revealed a hereditary deficit of antithrombin III. The features of the haemotological diagnosis of this rare condition and the therapeutic implications are discussed.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
