title: [Activated protein C resistance as the cause of recurrent mesenteric venous thrombosis].
abstract: We describe a case of a 72-year-old woman, identified as resistant to activated protein C and with attacks of abdominal pain after mesenteric venous thrombosis ten years ago, now successfully treated with anticoagulant therapy. We point out the need for screening for coagulation disorders among patients with venous thrombotic events.
