Abstract

Antiphospholipid syndrome is a condition with an increased propensity for both arterial and venous thrombosis. Compared with the normal population there is also a higher rate of recurrence. Most evidence exists for the use of warfarin in the secondary prevention of thromboembolism, aiming for an international normalized ratio between 2.0 and 3.0. Care must be taken with all anticoagulants because of the increased risk of bleeding. Several other strategies are available if warfarin fails, including the addition of aspirin, increasing the warfarin target range, and use of heparin.

Echinokokkose medikamentös behandeln oder operieren?

06.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Die Therapie von Echinokokkosen sollte immer in spezialisierten Zentren erfolgen. Eine symptomlose Echinokokkose kann – egal ob von Hunde- oder Fuchsbandwurm ausgelöst – konservativ erfolgen. Wenn eine Op. nötig ist, kann es sinnvoll sein, vorher Zysten zu leeren und zu desinfizieren.
