Abstract
- An 83-year-old man had gradually worsening abdominal pain and vomiting. Laparotomy revealed segmental intestinal infarction resulting from thrombosis in the superior mesenteric vein. Necrosed intestine was resected and anastomosis was performed successfully. The patient was anticoagulated with intravenous heparin and nafamostat mesilate followed by oral aspirin. He recovered rapidly. Blood chemistry revealed protein C deficiency, while protein S and antithrombin III levels were normal. Laboratory evaluation of these proteins may help define the cause of mesenteric venous thrombosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
