Endocarditis and ulnar artery aneurysm as presenting features of antiphospholipid syndrome and polyarteritis nodosa. [Case Reports, Journal Article]
Lupus 2005; 14(11):914-7.
Antiphospholipid syndrome in association with vasculitis is highlighted in this report. The combination of thrombotic and inflammatory processes resulted in endocarditis, aneurysm formation and thrombosis. To our knowledge this is the first presentation of a large vessel aneurysm in these conditions. Anticoagulation and immunosuppression are the treatment modalities of choice.
