We report a patient with congenital factor VII deficiency who developed severe arterial thrombosis. A 63-year-old-woman presented low factor VII clotting activity, amidolytic activity and antigen level < 4%. Activated factor VII plasmatic level was < 0.03 ng/ml compared to 4 ng/ml for the control value. She developed severe aorto-iliac thrombosis. 7 d before the thrombotic event, factor VII replacement therapy had been infused. Successful low molecular weight heparin therapy led to total disappearance of the aorto-iliac thrombus without bleeding complications. This suggests that factor VII infusion might have a thrombogenic effect in vivo and might be responsible for thrombosis.
