Non-catheter associated venous thrombosis in hemophilia A and B. A critical review of all reported cases.
Journal of Thrombosis and Thrombolysis 2006 June
All reported cases of non-catheter induced venous thrombosis in patients with hemophilia A or B have been carefully evaluated. A total of 27 cases were reported,12 patients with hemophilia A and 15 patients with hemophilia B. The age of patients varied between 9 and 67 years. There were 10 cases of deep vein thrombosis, 8 patients with pulmonary embolism accompanied or not by deep vein thrombosis, 5 cases of superficial vein thrombosis. In addition, there were 3 cases of thrombosis in unusual sites (1 retinal central vein thrombosis and 2 portal vein thrombosis). Finally, in one case, venous thrombosis was multiple. There was a fatality in a hemophilia B patient with pulmonary embolism. The most frequent risk or triggering factor in hemophilia A was the administration of Feiba or rFVIIa concentrates in patients with inhibitors. Surgery together with Prothrombin Complex concentrates was the most frequent cause in hemophilia B patients. Congenital associated prothrombotic risk factors were present in two patients. No or very few therapeutic procedures were initiated in these patients but for a suspension or reduction of concentrates infusion. In a few instances low molecular weight heparin was given for a few days. The frequent association of venous thrombosis with infusion of concentrates indicates the need for a careful evaluation of patients about to receive such therapy.
