We reported three patients who developed disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) accompanying thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysm. The first case, a 26-year-old man with dissecting aortic aneurysm developed DIC with clinical bleeding after operating on glaucoma. The administration of fibrinogen concentrates and antifibrinolytic agent made his DIC improve. The second case, a 70-year-old man with abdominal aortic aneurysm developed DIC showing large ecchymosis after angiography. His DIC disappeared after operation on aneurysm. The third case, a 73-year-old woman with thoracic and abdominal aneurysm developed laboratory-DIC without severe hemorrhagic diathesis. During antifibrinolytic therapy, platelet count, fibrinogen and fibrinogen degradation product (FDP) level improved. Since the treatment of the coagulopathy might be varied in the situation of the cause and clinical course, it is noted that anti-fibrinolytic therapy was effective in our two cases.

D004211 Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation A disorder characterized by procoagulant substances entering the general circulation causing a systemic thrombotic process. The activation of the clotting mechanism may arise from any of a number of disorders. A majority of the patients manifest skin lesions, sometimes leading to PURPURA FULMINANS.

D005260 Female Females
D005338 Fibrin Fibrinogen Degradation Products Soluble protein fragments formed by the proteolytic action of plasmin on fibrin or fibrinogen. FDP and their complexes profoundly impair the hemostatic process and are a major cause of hemorrhage in intravascular coagulation and fibrinolysis.

D000933 Antifibrinolytic Agents Agents that prevent fibrinolysis or lysis of a blood clot or thrombus. Several endogenous antiplasmins are known. The drugs are used to control massive hemorrhage and in other coagulation disorders.
