Infrainguinal Bypass Surgery for Chronic Arterial Occlusive Disease Associated with Essential Thrombocythemia: Report of a Case

Abstract: A 63-year-old man was referred to our hospital with a 3-year history of intermittent claudication, and his angiogram showed a total occlusion of the bilateral infrainguinal arteries. In addition, based on a platelet count of 172 x 10(4)/mm(3) as well as the characteristic bone marrow findings, he was diagnosed to have essential thrombocythemia. After the platelet count and aggregation response improved on administration of ranimustine and antiplatelet agents, infrainguinal bypass surgery was performed using th… Show more

“…[ 13 , 14 ] Therefore, caution during preoperative evaluation and treatment to reduce platelet counts are considered to be essential before surgery. [ 15 18 ] We chose plateletpheresis to quickly decrease the platelet count, since this has been successfully applied in coronary artery bypass grafting. [ 19 ]…”

“…[4] In our literature review, few clinical reports have been published describing the clinical onset of critical extremity ischemia in ET. [8][9][10][11][12][13] In those reports, extremity ischemia was mostly observed after arterial thrombosis and was due to paradoxical embolization from a venous thrombosis in only one case. [13] On the other hand, patients mostly presented with thrombosis on native vessels.…”

“…[13] On the other hand, patients mostly presented with thrombosis on native vessels. Nevertheless, Sugimoto [11] noted that ET complicated the course of an underlying atherosclerosis. To our knowledge, ours is the first reported case of isolated thrombosis of SFA causing critical extremity ischemia in a patient with ET.…”

“…C e r t a i n s y s t e m i c d i s e a s e s , s u c h a s antiphospholipid syndrome and myeloproliferative neoplasms, have high thromboembolism risks, and cause chronic lower limb artery occlusions as well as acute thrombotic occlusions [21][22][23] . Such systemic diseases may be an underlying cause of thrombotic occlusions in AI disease; therefore, they might be associated with high mortality in patients with thrombotic lesions.…”
