title: Atypical microangiopathy in a patient treated with ticlopidine.
abstract: Microangiopathies are rare complications during treatments with ticlopidine. We describe an atypical microangiopathy, affecting almost exclusively myocardium, and thrombocytopenia, shortly after onset of ticlopidine. The patient died a few days after. Autopsy showed no bleedings or large thrombi in most organs, but were compatible with microangiopathy in myocardial small vessels.
