Cyclosporine-A-Induced Intracranial Thrombotic Complications: Systematic Review and Cases Report.

ABSTRACT: This study reported two cases of intracranial thrombotic events of aplastic anemia (AA) under therapy with cyclosporine-A (CsA) and reviewed both drug-induced cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) and CsA-related thrombotic events systematically. We searched PubMed Central (PMC) and EMBASE up to Sep 2019 for publications on drug-induced CVT and Cs-A-induced thrombotic events. Medical subject headings and Emtree headings were used with the following keywords: "cyclosporine-A" and "cerebral venous thrombosis OR cerebral vein thrombosis" and "stroke OR Brain Ischemia OR Brain Infarction OR cerebral infarction OR intracerebral hemorrhage OR intracranial hemorrhage." We found that CsA might be a significant risk factor in inducing not only CVT but also cerebral arterial thrombosis in patients with AA.

Arterial intracranial thrombosis as the first manifestation of vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT): a case report.

Project description:ObjectiveWe describe a severe case of vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) after the first dose of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine leading to massive ischemic stroke.MethodsA 42-year-old woman developed acute left hemiparesis (NIHSS 12) 9 days after the first vaccine dose.ResultsThe blood tests revealed low platelets (70 103/μL) and severe increment of D-dimer (70,745 ng/mL FEU). Brain non-contrast computed tomography and multiphasic CT angiography demonstrated a right middle cerebral artery occlusion. The patient was treated with primary thrombectomy, steroids, immunoglobulin, and fondaparinux. Despite the treatment, the neurological status deteriorated and underwent decompressive hemicraniectomy. She was transferred to the rehab's unit 52 days after the onset.DiscussionHealthcare providers should be aware of the possibility of ischemic stroke as a manifestation of VITT. Awareness on this very rare and possibly fatal complication should be reinforced on both the vaccine recipients and general practitioners.

COVID-19-Associated Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura: A Case Report and Systematic Review.

Project description:IntroductionThe proliferation of literature regarding the COVID-19 pandemic has served to highlight a wide spectrum of disease manifestations and complications, such as thrombotic microangiopathies. Our review with a brief case presentation highlights the increasing recognition of TTP in COVID-19 and describes its salient characteristics.MethodsWe screened the available literature in PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases from inception until April 2022 of articles mentioning COVID-19-associated TTP in English language.ResultsFrom 404 records, we included 8 articles mentioning data of 11 patients in our review. TTP was predominantly reported in females (72%) with a mean age of 48.2 years (SD 15.1). Dyspnea was the most common symptom in one third of patients (36.6%). Neurological symptoms were reported in 27.3% of cases. The time to diagnosis of TTP was 10 days (SD 5.8) from onset of COVID-19. All 11 cases underwent plasma exchange (PLEX), with a mean of 12 sessions per patient, whereas 6 cases received Rituximab (54.5%), and 3 received Caplacizumab (27.3%). One patient died from the illness.ConclusionThis review of available literature highlights the atypical and refractory nature of COVID-19-associated TTP. It required longer sessions of PLEX, with half of the patients receiving at least one immunosuppressant.

Thrombotic microangiopathy associated with arboviral infection: Report of 3 cases.

Project description:Dengue fever and chikungunya are viral diseases that have spread rapidly throughout the world in recent decades. The occurrence of complications is well known, including prerenal acute kidney injury (AKI), which is usually thought to be caused by dehydration and fluid loss. Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is an uncommon aggravation of dengue fever and chikungunya, with only a few cases described in the medical literature. The aim of this study is to present 3 cases of TMA associated with arboviral infection. Three patients with clinical history, laboratory test, and kidney biopsy results compatible with TMA were selected for the study, 2 of whom had a serological diagnosis of dengue fever and 1 of chikungunya. The 3 patients were followed up at the Federal University of Maranhão Hospital's Nephrology Service in 2018. A targeted gene panel sequencing (TGPS) plus multiple to atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) was performed in 2 of the patients and revealed in the patient 1 a heterozygous pathogenic variant in the gene THBD, as well as heterozygous deletions in CFH, CFHR1, and CFHR3. In the patient 2, there were heterozygous pathogenic variant in the genes CFI and CFB, in addition to heterozygous deletions in the genes CFHR1 and CFHR3. Both received treatment with eculizumab and undergone recovery of renal function. The third patient had TMA not classified as either aHUS or thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP); he abandoned the treatment and returned to the service after 2 years for a dialysis emergency. Patients with arboviral infectious disease and changes that suggest TMA should have appropriate support to establish early diagnosis and useful treatment.

Thrombotic complications in 2928 patients with COVID-19 treated in intensive care: a systematic review.

Project description:A prothrombotic state is reported with severe COVID-19 infection, which can manifest in venous and arterial thrombotic events. Coagulopathy is reflective of more severe disease and anticoagulant thromboprophylaxis is recommended in hospitalized patients. However, the prevalence of thrombosis on the intensive care unit (ICU) remains unclear, including whether this is sufficiently addressed by conventional anticoagulant thromboprophylaxis. We aimed to identify the rate of thrombotic complications in ICU-treated patients with COVID-19, to inform recommendations for diagnosis and management. A systematic review was conducted to assess the incidence of thrombotic complications in ICU-treated patients with COVID-19. Observational studies and registries reporting thrombotic complications in ICU-treated patients were included. Information extracted included patient demographics, use of thromboprophylaxis or anticoagulation, method of identifying thrombotic complications, and reported patient outcomes. In 28 studies including 2928 patients, thrombotic complications occurred in 34% of ICU-managed patients, with deep venous thrombosis reported in 16.1% and pulmonary embolism in 12.6% of patients, despite anticoagulant thromboprophylaxis, and were associated with high mortality. Studies adopting systematic screening for venous thrombosis with Duplex ultrasound reported a significantly higher incidence of venous thrombosis compared to those relying on clinical suspicion (56.3% vs. 11.0%, p < 0.001). Despite thromboprophylaxis, there is a very high incidence of thrombotic complications in patients with COVID-19 on the ICU. Systematic screening identifies many thrombotic complications that would be missed by relying on clinical suspicion and should be employed, with consideration given to increased dose anticoagulant thromboprophylaxis, whilst awaiting results of prospective trials of anticoagulation in this cohort.

Surufatinib-induced renal thrombotic microangiopathy: first case report and review of literature.

Project description:Angiogenesis inhibitors such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are common therapeutics currently used to treat oncologic disease. Surufatinib is a novel, small-molecule multiple receptor TKI approved by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for the treatment of progressive, advanced, and well-differentiated pancreatic and extrapancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a well-documented complication of TKIs targeting the VEGF-A/VEGFR2 signalling pathway. Here, we describe a 43-year-old female patient with biopsy-proven TMA and nephrotic syndrome due to surufatinib treatment for adenoid cystic carcinoma. Histological lesions included glomerular endothelial swelling, widening of subendothelial spaces, mesangiolysis, and double contour, which caused nephrotic proteinuria. Effective management was achieved by drug withdrawal and oral anti-hypertensive regents. The management of surufatinib-related nephrotoxicity without compromising its anticancer effects is challenging. Hypertension and proteinuria must be closely monitored during drug use to reduce or stop the dose in a timely manner before severe nephrotoxicity occurs.

The Relationship between Primary Hyperparathyroidism and Thrombotic Events: Report of Three Cases and a Review of Potential Mechanisms.

Project description:We have described three uncommon cases of patients who presented with clinical thrombotic events (stroke, pulmonary embolism and deep venous thrombosis) during the course of a hypercalcemia-induced hypercoagulable state. After thorough investigation, the diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism - due to a parathyroid adenoma - was established in all cases. The association between hypercalcemia and venous or arterial thrombosis has been previously described; however, relevant data are still insufficient. The existing evidence in the field was reviewed and the interesting underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms were also discussed. Further studies are required to shed more light on the unusual, still intriguing relationship between calcium and thrombosis.

Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome and its complications: A report of two cases and literature review.

Project description:Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome (HWWS) is a rare congenital malformation characterized by uterus didelphys, unilateral blind hemivagina, and ipsilateral renal agenesis. The obstructed vagina affects menstrual flow, leading to related clinical symptoms after menarche. However, the age of onset, initial symptoms, and clinical complications differ among patients owing to the different types of vaginal septum. Herein, we report 2 cases. The first case is of a 20-year-old woman who presented with fever; she was diagnosed with vaginitis and pelvic inflammation due to the vaginal septum with ostiole. The second case is of a 12-year-old girl who complained of abdominal pain; she was diagnosed as having pelvic inflammation, omentitis, and suppurative appendicitis due to the atretic vaginal septum.

SARS-CoV-2 infection and thrombotic complications: a narrative review.

Project description:The current, global situation regarding the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic and its potentially devastating clinical manifestations, i.e. coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), took the world by storm, as millions of people have been infected worldwide and more than 1,600,000 patients have succumbed. Infection induced by various respiratory viruses may lead to thrombotic complications. Infection-elicited thrombosis may involve a repertoire of distinct, yet interconnected pathophysiological mechanisms, implicating a hyperinflammatory response, platelet activation and triggering of the coagulation cascade. In the present review, we present current knowledge on the pathophysiological mechanisms that may underlie thrombotic complications in SARS-CoV-2 infection. Furthermore, we provide clinical data regarding the incidence rate of thrombotic events in several viral respiratory infections that cause acute respiratory distress syndrome, including SARS-CoV-2 infection and finally we summarize current recommendations concerning thromboprophylaxis and antithrombotic therapy in patients with thrombotic complications related to SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Cyclosporine-A-Based Immunosuppressive Therapy-Induced Neurotoxicity: A Case Report.

Project description:Cyclosporine-A (CsA) and ?mycophenolate mofetil are immunosuppressive drugs used for the prevention of transplant rejection. Various clinical studies have been performed on different forms of CsA neurotoxicity, including tremor, paresthesia, confusion, ataxia, neuralgia, hemiplegia, occipital seizures, and transient cortical blindness. Mycophenolate is associated with several neurological side effects including headache, insomnia, dizziness, depression, confusion, hypertonia, and paresthesia. A 31-year-old male with a history of kidney transplantation was treated with CsA and ?mycophenolate mofetil, for 18 years. He had been referred to the ?emergency ?department with complaints of generalized tonic-clonic seizure for 1 minute and 15 minutes of the post-ictal phase. Almost all laboratory tests including cerebrospinal fluid analysis were within normal limits. Brain MRI findings were compatible with CsA-based neurotoxicity. The patient's symptoms and MRI findings improved on decreasing CsA to the minimum dose. CsA neurotoxicity is more common in intravenous therapy, early days of CsA administration, P450 inhibitors administration, and following liver transplantation. MRI findings in CsA neurotoxicity include signal changes in the cerebral cortex and juxtacortical white matter of the occipital lobes, temporal, parietal, and frontal lobes. Every year, many solid organ transplantations are performed. Many of these patients received CsA-based regimens for the prevention of rejection. Therefore, it is necessary to consider CsA neurotoxicity in suspected patients.

Endothelial antigen assembly leads to thrombotic complications in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.

Project description:Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a prothrombotic disorder initiated by antibodies against complexes between human platelet factor 4 (hPF4) and heparin. A better understanding of the events that initiate the prothrombotic state may improve approaches to antithrombotic management. Here, we visualized thrombus formation in an in vivo murine model and an endothelialized microfluidic system that simulate the pathogenesis of HIT. hPF4 released from platelets predominantly bound to peri-injury endothelium and formed HIT antigenic complexes that were dissociated by heparin. In mice expressing both hPF4+ and human platelet IgG Fc receptor IIA (Fc?RIIA), infusion of the HIT-like monoclonal antibody KKO increased fibrin and platelet deposition at sites of injury, followed immediately by antigen formation on proximate endothelial cells. After a few minutes, HIT antigen was detected within the thrombus itself at the interface between the platelet core and the surrounding shell. We observed similar results in the humanized, endothelialized microfluidic system. hPF4 and KKO selectively bound to photochemically injured endothelium at sites where surface glycocalyx was reduced. These studies support the concept that the perithrombus endothelium is the predominant site of HIT antigen assembly. This suggests that disrupting antigen formation along the endothelium or protecting the endothelium may provide a therapeutic opportunity to prevent thrombotic complications of HIT, while sparing systemic hemostatic pathways.
