| Title | Ictus and antiphospholipid syndrome: How much is enough? | | Author(s) | Rodríguez-Castellano E, Ríos-Blanco JJ, Robles-Marhuenda A, Gil-Aguado A, Soto-Abánades C, Pérez-Valero I, Royo-Orejas A, Vázquez-Rodríguez JJ | | Institution | 2Internal Medicine Department, Hospital Universitario La Paz, Madrid, Spain. | | Source | Autoimmunity 2008 Mar; 41(2):140-2. | | Abstract | Herein we report the case of a patient with antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) and an ischemic stroke suffered while he was anticoagulated, and we discuss the usefulness of magnetic resonance angiography in the early diagnosis of such a complication. We also attempt to emphasize the great value of an individual risk evaluation when warfarin therapy is introduced. In fact, our case supports the importance of high-intensity anticoagulation in patients with multiple thrombotic recurrences, and the exceptional value that strict anticoagulation control has in this kind of patients. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
