“…All the patients, in whom the haemorrhage could be regarded as serious but not life‐threatening, experienced some prolongation of hospital stay (12 h to 13 days), one requiring platelet transfusion and another one, who suffered haemorrhage plus infection, requiring surgical intervention and drainage of a retroperitoneal infected haematoma. The patient in whom a large haemorrhage into the buttock and thigh was considered to have contributed to death (case 6) had many risk factors for haemorrhage, including aspirin therapy plus a therapeutic dose of low‐molecular‐weight heparin, and has already been reported (Le Dieu, Luckit & Sundarasun, 2003; Morley & Makris, 2003). Another patient with life‐threatening haemorrhage (case 8) is worth considering in some detail.…”

“…A recent postal survey of members of the British Society for Haematology suggested that these procedures are generally safe, with adverse events being reported in only one per 1000 procedures (Bain, 2003, 2004). However, while complications are rare, they may be serious, and fatal outcomes have been reported (Le Dieu et al , 2003; Morley & Makris, 2003; Bain, 2004). The most frequently reported serious adverse event is bleeding.…”

“…The majority of these events occurred following a combined aspirate/biopsy procedure in older individuals with a myeloproliferative disorder, platelet dysfunction or thrombocytopenia. Aspirin therapy 1 and low molecular weight heparin 2 have also been implicated in bone marrow biopsy‐related hemorrhages. Although case reports of retroperitoneal hemorrhages following a bone marrow biopsy have been described in the literature 3, 4, such events have not been reported in a pediatric population following a bone marrow aspirate.…”
