Core Tip

Core Tip: One 52-year-old Chinese female suffered from myelodysplastic syndrome of multilineage dysplasia with severe thrombocytopenia and thrombophilia with deep vein thrombosis. In the basic treatment for underlying diseases, the treatment of thrombosis is full of contradictions because of the low platelets, especially in the situation that the curative effect of surgical thrombectomy was not obvious. Pleasantly, Fondaparinux sodium effectively alleviated the thrombus status, and the D-dimer gradually decreased. In addition, there was not any unexpected bleeding. This patient’s circumference of right lower limb recovered and restored the movement basically finally.
