Anticoagulation in the antiphospholipid syndrome

Abstract

Our objectives were to evaluate thrombotic complications in patients with lupus anticoagulant fulfilling Sapporo criteria, anticoagulated with an intended INR 2.0-3.0 due to venous and arterial thrombosis. In our series standard anticoagulation was safe and efficacious in preventing recurrences in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, with other thrombophilia and with arterial thrombosis.
