Trombosis intra-cardíaca en síndrome antifosfolípido primario: comunicación de un caso / Intracardiac thrombosis in primary antiphospholipid syndrome: report of 1 case

ABSTRACT

Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome is characterized by arterial or venous thrombosis associated to the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies. We report a 32 years old male who presented with an erterial thrombosis, and echocardiogram disclosed an atrial thrombus. Four months later, being with anticoagulant treatment, he had a deep venous thrombosis. A new echocardiogram did not show the atrial thrombus. The laboratory work-up confirmed an antiphospholipid syndrome. Five months later the patient has not presented new thrombotic episodes and is receiving oral anticoagulants and antiplatelet therapy
