Trousseau's syndrome treated with long-term subcutaneous lepirudin (case report and review of the literature).
We report here a case of recurrent venous and arterial thromboembolism, Trousseau's syndrome, in a cancer patient who developed heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. She was treated with lepirudin and after establishing the patient-specific half-life for subcutaneous lepirudin, she was successfully maintained on this therapy for more than eight months. To our knowledge this case represents the longest reported use of subcutaneous lepirudin.
