Article Synopsis
- Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a frequent issue for patients undergoing thalidomide treatment, and there is a lack of guidelines for preventative measures.
- A study of 131 patients indicated that those on prophylactic warfarin had a significantly lower DVT occurrence (5.5%) compared to those not on it (23.7%).
- Low-dose warfarin appears to be just as effective as higher doses in preventing DVT while also reducing the risk of bleeding complications.
In addition to common dysfunction of the brain and kidney, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) may present with atypical clinical features due to the involvement of other organs such as the lung, pancreas, heart, eye, and skin. We have also observed the unusual presentation of peripheral digit ischemic syndrome (PDIS) in some patients with postoperative TTP. To clarify this relationship between TTP and PDIS, the hematologic data from the medical records of patients with known diagnoses of thrombotic microangiopathy (TM) were examined in a single institution.
