“…To date, heparin [8–10], camostat or nafamostat mesilate [17, 18], tranexamic acid [11], combinations of these medications [12], as well as rivaroxaban, a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) [13–15], have been reported as beneficial or successful, mostly in case reports and case series. Warfarin, on the contrary, may be less effective because it may worsen coagulopathy by reducing the expression of protein C and protein S (a cofactor of protein C) in patients with chronic DIC associated with aneurysm [14]. Stopping warfarin improved DIC parameters in Patient 1, perhaps for the reason.…”
