Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Defective PC (protein C) pathway predisposes patients to venous thromboembolism (VTE) and is mostly, but not exclusively, attributed to hereditary PC or PS (protein S) deficiencies and activated PC resistance caused by factor V Leiden mutation. Approach and Results: In a patient with acute mesenteric venous thrombosis and positive family history of VTE associated with the impaired PC pathway function...
