  • Title: Conservative management of superior mesenteric and portal vein thrombosis associated with protein C and S deficiency. Case report.
    Author: Kim DI, Lee BB, Noh SI, Baek YH, Joh JW, Lee SK, Kim YI.
    Journal: Int Angiol; 1997 Dec; 16(4):235-8. PubMed ID: 9543219.
    Abstract:
    Protein C and S, vitamin K-dependent proteins, are blood coagulation inhibitors. Their deficiency causes systemic thrombosis. A 35-year-old man who developed superior mesenteric venous thrombosis and portal vein thrombosis showed markedly decreased protein C and S levels. The therapeutic modality of this thrombosis associated with protein C and S deficiency is still debated. We treated this patient with systemic anticoagulation and long term total parenteral nutrition without surgical intervention.
