摘要

Patients with myeloproliferative disorders such as primary thrombocytosis are prone to vascular thrombotic events. Splenectomy is also a risk factor for thrombocytosis. Such significant thrombosis may cause serious extremity or cardiac problems. It is beneficial to use prophylactic platelet anti-aggregating medication such as aspirin, cytoreductive agents such as hydroxyurea or anticoagulation with close monitoring in these patients that have additional risk factors. In this article, we present a case for whom medical therapy was more important and life-saving than surgery for peripheral vascular thrombosis after splenectomy operation.
