Haemostaseological complication management in caval and iliac venous stenting

Vasa. 2018 Apr;47(3):243-246. doi: 10.1024/0301-1526/a000686. Epub 2018 Jan 16.

Abstract

Antiplatelet and anticoagulation therapy after venous stenting is still not standardized, data from randomized-controlled trials are missing. Rare prothrombotic disorders and nonresponsiveness to drugs must be taken into account. This case report demonstrates successful haemostaselogical complication management in recurrent rethromboses due to underlying clopidogrel resistance and low responsiveness to anticoagulation with dabigatran after endovascular stent reconstruction of chronic pelvic and caval vein occlusion in a patient with severe postthrombotic syndrome.

Keywords: Thrombosis; antiplatelet therapy; chronic venous occlusion; oral anticoagulation; postthrombotic syndrome; venous stenting.
