Thrombosis in a duplicated superficial femoral vein in a patient with haemophilia A

Abstract: Venous thrombosis is a very rare occurrence in patients with haemophilia A. We report the case of a haemophiliac in whom initially a calf haematoma was suspected, but neither this nor deep venous thrombosis (DVT) could be confirmed on ultrasound scanning. Subsequently, a high segment venous thrombosis was diagnosed by venography in a portion of a duplicated superficial femoral vein. Treatment with factor VIII (FVIII) and low molecular weight heparin led to a successful resolution. The only other case we have b… Show more

“…17 (2) Venous thrombosis is very rare in these patients. 18 This observation supports a key role for FVIII in venous thrombosis. [7][8][9][10] Partial inhibition of FVIII by mAb-LE2E9 seems to mimic mild hemophilia A.…”

“…In these cases, however, there is no ambiguity as the duplicate vessels are always quite physically separate from each other (Zucconi et al, 2002;Shaw et al, 2003;Klemm et al, 2005). In contrast, reports pertaining to other regions of the body, particularly the lower limb, use the term duplicated to describe vessels that are fenestrated (Stewart et al, 2000;Wen et al, 2001;Quinlan et al, 2003). In this literature, development of thrombosis, due to reduced blood flow, is the problem of interest.…”
