Article Synopsis
- A 33-year-old man with lupus membranous nephropathy experienced painful leg swelling and acute kidney injury due to extensive thrombosis in significant venous structures, including both renal veins and the inferior vena cava.
- Initial treatment with pharmacomechanical thrombolysis was ineffective, but catheter-based mechanical thrombectomy successfully cleared the thrombus and improved the patient’s condition.
- Despite a recurrent thrombosis after one week, further treatment adjustments led to another thrombectomy, resulting in sustained improvement and preservation of kidney function, highlighting the importance of combining catheter-based procedures with targeted medical therapy.
Article Synopsis
- Acquired von Willebrand syndrome is a rare form of von Willebrand disease, making up only 1-3% of cases; this report discusses two patients with this condition linked to monoclonal gammopathy.* -
- Both patients achieved complete remission of acquired von Willebrand syndrome following intensive antimyeloma treatments, demonstrating the effectiveness of aggressive therapies.* -
- Treatment strategies included a variety of drugs, with one patient successfully managed with a multi-drug regimen while the other underwent autologous stem cell transplantation, leading to normalized coagulation studies.*
Previous exposition to heparin and protamine in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass and postoperative therapeutic anticoagulation with LMWH may lead to the development of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) and/or protamine-induced thrombocytopenia (PIT). This case deals with a rare clinical presentation of circulating IgG antibodies against heparin/platelet factor 4 complexes and heparin/protamine complexes after cardiac surgery. Ensuing purpura and skin necrosis (blisters) at the injection sites of LMWH and clinical symptoms improved rapidly after replacement of LMWH by an alternative anticoagulant.

However, these changes are not yet fully reflected in current guidelines.This consensus statement, endorsed by six Austrian medical societies, provides guidance to current prophylactic approaches of thromboembolic events in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation on the basis of current evidence and published guidelines.

The introduction of direct oral anticoagulants (DOAK) has broadened the possibilities for prevention of venous thromboembolism in the course of orthopedic and trauma surgery. Addressing this recent development, the Austrian Societies of Orthopedics and Orthopedic Surgery (ÖGO), Trauma Surgery (ÖGU), Hematology and Oncology (OeGHO) and of Anaesthesiology, Reanimation und Intensive Care Medicine (ÖGARI) have taken the initiative to create Austrian guidelines for the prevention of thromboembolism after total hip and knee replacement, hip fracture surgery, interventions at the spine and cases of minor orthopedic and traumatic surgery.
