Chronic disseminated intravascular coagulation caused by an aorto-bifemoral aneurysm.
This article reports the case of a patient with chronic disseminated intravascular coagulation that led to the diagnosis of an otherwise asymptomatic aorto-bifemoral aneurysm. The bleeding disorder completely resolved with the surgical resection of the aneurysm. Fibrinogen replacement therapy prior to invasive diagnostic procedures resulted in good hemosthasia.
