  • Title: [Massive inferior vena cava thrombosis associated with protein C deficiency. Clinical case].
    Author: Duclos J, Castro J, Cofré P, Saiz X.
    Journal: Rev Med Chil; 1997 Apr; 125(4):451-6. PubMed ID: 9460287.
    Abstract:
    Inferior vena cava thrombosis is infrequent and in 30% of cases, the potential cause is an alteration of the natural anticoagulant protein system. We report a 18 years old male with an inferior vena cava thrombosis that was associated to a protein C deficiency. He was successfully treated with an infusion of intravenous streptokinase during 30 hours and intravenous heparin during 10 days, followed by oral anticoagulation therapy.
