Key result
Relapsed AML can present with acute aortic thrombosis as a rare complication.
Why the study?
Acute aortic thrombosis is a rare condition that can occur secondary to hypercoagulable states, but its occurrence in acute myeloid leukaemia is unusual.
Highlights acute aortic thrombosis as a rare complication of relapsed acute myeloid leukaemia.
Alerts clinicians to aortic thrombosis in relapsed AML with limb ischemia; hypothesis-generating and leaves open questions on incidence and prevention.
Acute aortic thrombosis is a rare condition, occurring mainly as a result of trauma or atherosclerosis and occasionally secondary to hypercoagulable states. We report a patient with relapsed acute myeloid leukaemia who developed an unusual complication, acute aortic thrombosis.
