| Popis: | Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is uncommon in the postoperative setting, even more so after vascular surgery. We present a case of thrombocytopenia after aortofemoral bypass, which highlights the importance of a high index of suspicion for postoperative TTP to avoid life-threatening consequences.Keywords: postoperative thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura; aortofemoral bypass; plasmapheresis(Published: 7 January 2013)Citation: Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives 2012, 2: 19797 - http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/jchimp.v2i4.19797 |
