  • Title: [Aorto-iliac thrombosis in a gelding: treatment with the anticoagulant Phenprocoumon (Marcoumar)].
    Author: Trachsel D, Cohausz O, Scharf G, Wehrli Eser M.
    Journal: Schweiz Arch Tierheilkd; 2008 Dec; 150(12):613-8. PubMed ID: 19034846.
    Abstract:
    A 14-year old Swiss warmblood gelding was presented to the equine hospital of the University of Zurich because of therapy-resistant fever. An intermittent lameness suggested the presence of an intravascular aorto-iliac thrombus which was confirmed sonographically. Subsequently, treatment was initiated with Heparin s.c. and continued for 7 months with Phenprocoumon (Marcoumar). The dosage was monitored and adjusted according to the prothrombin time, which was initially measured every week, and later maximally biweekly. The lameness improved and the regression of the thrombus could be followed sonographically. Seven months later the horse had to be euthanized due to acute colic.
