Background: Low plasma levels of protein C or protein S are associated with venous thromboembolism rather than myocardial infarction. The high coagulant activity in patients with thrombophilia with a (familial) defect in protein C or S is explained by defective protein C activation, involving thrombomodulin and protein S. This causes increased plasmatic thrombin generation.

Introduction: Protease-activated receptors (PARs) evolved to react to extracellular proteolytic activity. In mammals, three of the four PARs (PAR1, PAR3, and PAR4) that are expressed respond to the prototypical procoagulant enzyme thrombin, whereas PAR2 was assumed to resist activation by thrombin. To date, involvement of cell surface thrombin-recruiting co-receptors such as thrombomodulin (TM), which potentially facilitates PAR2 cleavage, has not been addressed.

Rivaroxaban, which targets factor Xa and does not reduce proteins C/S, was chosen to treat a 6-year-old girl with homozygous protein S (PS) deficiency who developed skin necrosis while on warfarin. Owing to the lack of experience with rivaroxaban in children, the girl was started with 5 mg once-daily, which was gradually increased to 40 mg daily. The increasing dosage was driven by the need to avoid recurrence of skin necrosis.

After the Fontan procedure, patients face an increased risk for thromboembolic events (TE). The etiology for this increased thrombogenecity is incompletely understood. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of TE in Danish Fontan patients and to bring new insights into the etiology of TE.
