Acute postoperative biventricular failure associated with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome
2004, British Journal of AnaesthesiaCitation Excerpt :In cases where thrombosis continues despite adequate anticoagulation, additional treatment is aimed either at preventing antibody formation or reducing antibody titres and may include corticosteroids, immunosuppressive agents, i.v. immune globulin, or plasmapheresis. Tissue plasminogen activator has been used successfully in one case report of APS with ST changes and normal coronary arteries.32 Thrombosis in APS typically affects large vessels.

2001, Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Nevertheless, the standard of care is usually heparin followed by warfarin. APS patients with myocardial infarction can be considered as candidates for thrombolytics,12,13 angioplasty, or coronary stents.14 Peripheral arterial thromboses can be treated with heparin (or thrombolytics) or angioplasty.
