Lupus anticoagulant: a potential risk factor for complication following percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty

P Anglin et al. Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn. 1994 Feb.

Abstract

A patient is described with antiphospholipid antibodies who died approximately 24 hr after an uncomplicated balloon angioplasty. Since the literature suggests a relationship between the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies and thromboses, we suggest that these antibodies may be a risk factor for abrupt closure after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
