  • Title: [Thrombolytic therapy of antithrombin III-deficiency-induced mesenteric vein thrombosis in a newly operated patient].
    Author: Bickelhaupt A, Jehle M, Eisele R.
    Journal: Vasa; 1991; 20(1):78-81. PubMed ID: 2031406.
    Abstract:
    A 21-year-old patient presented with extensive thrombosis of the mesenteric veins. He was in a serious condition after laparatomy in another hospital. The cause of the thrombotic event was found to be an inherited antithrombin III-deficiency. As a sole therapeutic possibility a systemic lysis with streptokinase was performed and was followed by a favourable immediate result. Unfortunately the subsequent course was complicated by a histologically confirmed necrotizing arteritis which was responsible for the lethal outcome 57 days after admission.
