ABSTRACT
We herein present a case involving an 86-year-old man with abdominal aortic aneurysm complicated by symptomatic disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). The patient received preoperative treatment for DIC using recombinant human soluble thrombomodulin (rTM) followed by open surgical repair of the aneurysm. The patient's coagulopathy cleared quickly after the start of rTM, and the intraoperative and postoperative course went smoothly. The patient was followed without anticoagulant medication, and there was no recurrence of DIC during 14 months of follow-up. The preoperative administration of rTM can be a useful choice to assist safe treatment of aortic aneurysm complicated by aneurysm-related DIC.
