  • Title: Aortic aneurysms and consumptive coagulopathy.
    Author: Micallef-Eynaud PD, Ludlam CA.
    Journal: Blood Coagul Fibrinolysis; 1991 Jun; 2(3):477-81. PubMed ID: 1932533.
    Abstract:
    We describe three cases of consumptive coagulopathy caused by extensive thrombus formation in otherwise 'uncomplicated' aortic aneurysms. These cases demonstrate the importance of performing a coagulation screen in any patient presenting with thrombocytopenia who may have an aortic aneurysm. Effective therapy with low-dose heparin was demonstrated with subsequent haemostasis being maintained with warfarin.
