BACKGROUND: To report clinical experiences with @entity5642 ( @entity5642 ) associated with @entity449 ( @entity449 ) and discuss therapeutic strategy. METHODS:                 <AbstractText Label="DESIGN AND SETTINGS" NlmCategory="METHODS">uncontrolled, observational study in a university hospital. @entity1 : among 547 @entity1 with @entity449 treated between 1991 and 1999, 10 @entity1 (7 males, 3 females, mean age 68.5+/-2.5) presenting a preoperative @entity5642 score (defined by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in Japan) of 6 or higher were analyzed. The etiology was dissection for 5 and non-dissection for 5 @entity1 . Six of 10 @entity1 had a @entity548 tendency. Eight @entity1 received preoperative anticoagulant therapy. Prosthetic replacement was undertaken for 8 @entity1 except for 2 @entity1 in poor condition. RESULTS: There were no operative deaths in 8 surgical cases. One non-surgical case died of deteriorated @entity548 tendency. The mean @entity5642 score was 8.0+/-0.6 at admission, which was reduced to 4.4+/-0.5 at discharge (p<0.05). @entity556 time, platelet counts, and @entity2002 levels tended to be normalized by the 7th postoperative day. Serum FDP levels decreased with surgery, but tended to increase at the time of discharge and the later follow-up period. @entity1503 and @entity548 tendency recurred in 2 @entity1 in the follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS: In the majority of @entity1 presenting @entity5642 with @entity449 , surgical treatment can be performed safely if adequately managed by anticoagulant therapy. @entity1003 usually resolved after surgical intervention, but some @entity1 developed @entity5642 in the later period. If @entity5642 recurs, it is essential to search for contributory causes.
